Night Pearl

On a quiet, windy, starry night
When all are busy with their meals
She lies on a wet sandy beach
And I let some waves kiss her heels

Her hair scattered around her head
She lies there, expressions dead
A tiny pearl escapes her eye
Her lips part and slips out a sigh

I wonder, what hurts her heart
I wonder, if it’s been sliced apart
I can’t do much, from up so high
So I send a breeze, as a start

A small attempt to let her know
Its alright to stand all alone
As I do, in a deep dark sky
But it hasn’t dulled or dimmed my glow

It brings out the best in me
For her and all the world to see
So just hold on, my little child
Let the pain power your brightest side

Lullaby

Every night as I unwind,

& try ways to clear my mind,

my thoughts keep racing back to you,

& I wonder if you think them too.

 

I wonder when you lie in bed

do you think of something I once said?

Does a little prank that I did play,

make you smile in the middle of your day?

 

Do your eyes search, of their free will,

every crowd for signs of my lean build?

Does your heart jump and skip a beat,

every time your cell phone rings or tweets?

 

I wonder when you dress each day,

do you ever wish I’d cross your way?

 

The questions don’t cease to flow,

till into dreams they slowly go,

but your mind I’d surely love to know,

Coz you’re in me, from head to toe.

Dedication: To my everything, :*

When time stood still

He stood on the sidewalk in his spotless white t-shirt and faded blue jeans. Head bend over his iPhone, he was texting me.
“Turn around”, I text him…he did, and his searching eyes found me. As I flitted towards him, negotiating my way through the small crowd , a bright radiant smile spread wide across his face. His eyes sparkled and he shrugged at me. I couldn’t contain my joy. I smiled and shrugged back.A hundred butterflies fluttered inside of me.
In that moment, I found myself. I knew this was exactly where I needed to be, precisely where I belonged.

He watched my every step. I felt safe,warm and at home, as he still held me in his gentle gaze.

I closed the distance between us. He looked down at me; his eyes all warm and friendly. This meant a lot to him ; his eyes said it well. I was glad too..that moment..those eyes…priceless! That was the beginning of a very long walk and a very deep friendship. A walk I cherish and celebrate every single day. A memory etched into the brain, every detail forever preserved; thanks to the intensity of the moment. What wouldn’t I give to be there again !? Nothing. 😉

Some relationships cannot be defined. They don’t need it. It subtly exists in the eyes and pulses deep within the heart. Defying boundaries, they travel.
