Breathing in Love's Captivity

by Hillol Ray


 

I vaguely remember the day,

How and where we met—

Home away from home?

Or on the Internet??

Your curly hairs, as you jogged,

Bounced in the air—

And kisses under star-lit night

Showed me you care!

Nothing else could I think,

Besides the wraps in your heart—

And felt moon has landed

To drag us close, not apart!

Calligraphy of winds whispered

To carry on evening charms—

Of your beauty and eyelashes

Till you embraced on your arms!

 

Paradigms of life drift me off

To swim into a time capsule—

And make a Gypsy out of me

With hands on survival tool!

Now I go through daily grinds,

But return to my nest at night—

'Cause of twinkle in your eyes,

And that's my guiding light!

Your hugs with a devil's kiss

Energize my evenings again—

Oh! What a feeling of breathing

In love's captivity to wash my pain!!
