As we share a cup of steaming tea
O’ so warm, on a rainy day
Train of droplets slithering down
To lock their lips on a glassy pane
Rising up the browny brew,
A film of vapour twirls and swirls
A dance of intimacy that holds us tight
A solitaire of silence in your eyes
Hearts entwined as we trudge
Lonely paths sown with rustling leaves
Blooming thoughts weave dreams of hope
To colour the sky in myriad hues
I wonder!
What spell have you cast on me ?
That keeps me longing for a caress,
Your soothing breath on my crimson cheeks
No dizzying expectations to weigh me down
Nor the burden of tiresome claims
You bring me the gift of absence –
Absence of a judging world !
In you I find peace,
In you I find myself !
You and me, my solitude
We make such a perfect pair !
