An enigmatic love poem, by Madhumita, exclusively for Different Truths.
You hide in the chambers of my heart,
Hiding yourself from the world,
With some secrets stashed away
In that love filled heart of yours,
While I drink in from
An ocean full of emotions,
Ebrious and excited,
Trying to untie those ‘secret’ knots,
As your breath occupies every inch
Of my dream house,
Your heady fragrance floats around,
Blending with my dreams,
Livening them up,
Though I never saw you
Come out of your hiding
And infuse my crazy veins
With your passions,
The heart at times
Beats with a sigh,
A sigh that your heart emits,
Bemoaning a sad past,
Still when those sad,
Light brown, gentle eyes
Look up into my eyes and smile,
Why do I see a thousand ships,
Laden with glittering nights
And colourful dreams,
In those two watery eyes of yours!
