As the year enters its eve,
as winter draws nigh,
as the day becomes younger again,
Out of the gloom emerged a butterfly...
It has been a long time since I talked to you,
the memories of you tinkling laughter,
the enthralling beauty of your voice,
Ever haunt the empty halls of my memory...
I felt like that sage,
when he let go of his breath after a thousand years,
when I heard you call me...
when I heard you speaking to me...
when your body was inches away from mine...
and when my mind had left, discreetly, the tangible peripherals of mortal world...
never had I felt more comforted,
never had I felt more calm,
never had I felt more passionate,
nor ever was I more urged to hold your face in my palms,
and look...
And look into the bottomless ocean of your eyes,
to tell... that I love you...
love you with every ounce of my being...With every fiber of my body...
with every shred of my tortured mind... With every bit of my sanity...
I was sinking into the ocean of your eyes... never knowing if I could make my way back,
And with each passing fathom, my mind got more entangled with your body,with your presence...
But alas! A very short bliss was I granted,
for I am the prisoner of the most lovely, yet, the most tyrant of lords,
a lord who goes by the name of Love...
and he grants really short visiting hours!
But then, my life rolled on,
And that night I dreamt of drowning into an ocean...
An ocean of unfathomable depth... an ocean of my passion...
An ocean of my broken love...
