Ruminate

For the smile, I see emanating from your eyes

Is the same reflected on mine
You see but yourself a lost cause
I see but myself a force to dodge
Yet somehow,
Somehow it makes sense
For me to find you amongst the forgotten cause
And for you to halt my overflowing concern.
Somehow the wishes we wished upon the stars
And the sunrise we embraced together
Ended up
Fulfilling the wishes
which I never thought
would connect me to you.
But then I question at times
the rhymes of heart
is it the same for you as it is for me?
But then I question million times
without that one intoxicated night
what would have happened
to the heart of yours
and the heart of mine?

Omnipresent

You found me withholding scars
amidst the shaken existence.
With strokes of innocent acceptance
you painted me like an origami.
And I learned to sigh
in the arresting warmth of your embrace.

You found me singing hymns of sorrow
amidst the tempest of trodden dreams.
With strokes of bittersweet cognizance
you filled in the barren pages after pages
of my existence.
And I learned to smile
in the nurturing essence of your presence.

You found me lost in myself
within the abyss of loneliness
And with strokes of unwavering surveillance
you sketched me into your poetries
immortalizing me for centuries
like a perfect piece of the jigsaw puzzle, that's your life.
And I learned to fly
with the flight of dreams that you weaved for me.

Under the tangerine sky you ruffled my feathers.
I fidgeted in panic as you stripped me of logic.
You ushered me into a free fall of emotions.
Yet the throbbing music of your whispers
hummed through me
until I morphed into your silhouette.
And now
betwixt losing you and losing myself
I choose the latter
for I exist in you
and you are omnipresent at least to me.
