The Negative

It was a blessed chance I stumbled upon the negative,

for years was it buried in the diary..

I had little remembrance of the puerile verses

I had written in it,

The only memories still intact

were the nights the soliloquy were pend...

Someone told me the law of attraction,

'The Secret' was it where I read it?

Damn!I should have believed,

A die hard rationalist I dun believe till I endure..

2 weeks, 2 Kodachrome,

Is it any sign??

Was it years back or just days,

seems like a distant motion picture running in the backdrop...

But I must come back to where I began,

the negative...

My dream....

Often i dream of a face that smiles,

shaking me violently of my slumber,

ever so subtly does the ambiance

pass through my senses,

spreading such tranquil,

I dream again....

Good Morning....

As she ebbed closer,

whispering mischievously in my ears...

Before the first rays 

of the morning sunlight,

could dilate the pupils of my eye,

her magnetic,intoxicating scent

fills my senses,

'my morning sunlight....'

Her Eyes...

Looking into her eyes,

I'm transparent, not opaque

she looks through me,

like a thin film of 

non-existent air,

at times,

those mesmerizing eyes....

Her Smile...

I dropped a pebble on a tranquil lake,

trailing the charm of the nascent wave,

buoyantly spreading its infectious joy,

the enthralling pattern on that canvas sublime,

it reminds me,

the smile spreading on her face divine...

The click...

Arms in arm, we lay besides,

eyes locked in visions,

we could read our minds...

To capture us thus,

our pristine love,

on that morning..... 

what passionate romantic she was...

Her Dream....

She told me so,

I only quote...

entangled in intimacy,

she said her verse...

"On the beach of tranquil emotion,

where we lay across the sand,

so cold at night,biting on the bare skin,

upon which the tickle of mischief 

grows with each passing minute,

the breath getting heavy an moist 

as the moon follows its trajectory 

across the destined night...

The rain finally arrives,

entangled the two of us,

strangers fall in love...."

Signed You and Me,

The photograph....
