Relationships

[Dedicated to my Jaan]

You came in my life
With endless promises,
And
Your debauch sense of pleasure,
Belongings
In troubled times.
You declare
The demise of lonliness,
Your age-old allie.

I embrace you
With the heart of gold.
Dreaming
Of foreign lands
And lost souls.
I dream of companionship
With myriads of
Colors,
Of mending hearts,
Of nests
Of home and emotions
And lost innocence.

I drown
In you to draw out the
Pleasures
Of falling autumn leaves
And cold winters
In front of a glowing hearth.
I dream
Of conversations instead of
Monologues,
Of pines, and silent afternoons,
Of frosted glass panes
Tinted in pink.

Visions
Of promised lands
Holds my mind's eyes.
And of togetherness,
Of broken down
Walls.
You are the bringer
Of the fressness of
The first monsoon showers,
The taste of the sea-water,
And the joy
Of a blooming flower.

With you
You bring life.
