The sense of love as love should be...free from everything else... |
It matters not the hands that touch The places you claimed long ago Every nook, every ridge is yours Without the need of a daily union My lips burn under his but The implications he never understands Because this body belongs to you alone And beyond a point, I do not care He feels but I can only think Of your tongue, your skin, your beauty He loves but you exert a right- You wrote your name here long ago And every other thing brushing past you- The wind on its way over continents The hands that touch yours everyday The pricking thorn, the bramble bush -bear no meaning beyond the understanding That all of you and all of me Is twined together eternally Not unbending, nor seeking less Than the attainment of love as love should be No need to wonder about the words Or hide each other as weaknesses But only to say, if only to show One another how we’ve lost control The fact that I sit alone today And have no one to ask about you While you mingle with people- People who have no right over you -no right to have your eyes boring into them No right to watch your perfect feet move No right to see your long fingers together The one you so skillfully use No right to see your elated smile No right to see your frowning brow- This fact proves that we belong Because there were no gaps; only One long, forever continuing dialogue Of harmonious thoughts; a single emotion- Cold, logical but of the brightest love They may destroy you; I want them to They may enjoy me; all I have is you They may embrace me; I will feel your touch They can go so far and claim so much But no matter how hard they try They cannot subdue that single cry- That soundless symphony arising from the friction Of our souls in another world- Your name trembling on my tongue’s tip Your name burning like a solid flame Your name- only mine to claim So selfishly, so unflinchingly I sat until I saw the creek The single, piercing, joyful smile I gave to you the delight That comes from knowing the depth of love An endless sea of pain I bore Of longing, loneliness, silent, overbearing torture All in the name of your emphasized talent I set out to die but on the way I learnt I care enough to never care About the things people would say Because this road that leads from over them Ran straight into your solid arms Without fear or justification |
