I am too close to be a dream for you.
Between the ether and the vapour,
the shhhhs and the dead silence -
are the many pins and nails
that lay under your head.
Turn softly.
I am here beside you -
nowhere far -
lest you hurt
your already bleeding head.
Or is it heart still?
The halfmoon kiss
that feverish breath of your name
Could any of my seamless whispers say
i am here -
in the now.
Much closer than you could ever desire?
You ask too many questions
expecting no easy answers
expect no words.
In the excuse of a home
i just say
i am here.
Not gone.
Not going.
At least for the
here - for the now.
"Satisfying" Must say.
ReplyDeleteThough i'm stuck at these lines of your,
"lest you hurt...is it heart still?"
I tried to interpret it but i'm afraid that i'm wrong :P
As far as i could do it..
"That line, "Pins and nails lay under your head between the shhh and dead silence" portrays the distance, and the obstacles betn the lovers inside the mind of the guy !!
These pins and nails are causing his head to bleed.
But then i think what about the last line?
"Is it still the heart?"
Does it show that the distance affected their love (precisely his) for each other? But as, now she has overcome the barriers..she whispers "I'm close to you, never going, not as of now" and hopes that "he is not bleeding from heart anymore"
:P Please leme know, if i'm misinterpreting it anyway around :)
Khayal, as i keep reiterating....readers are free to interpert....and one is never wrong in doing so.
ReplyDeleteBut as for my immediate intention of writing the same, romance or love is the last thing on my mind...though must say, interesting take!
hehe yea I know you keep saying that :P :D
ReplyDeleteThough for once....i'd be amazed to get inside your head, and see things from your point of view,
But then again, that's the charm of poetries. Everyone interprets it differently...its fun !! :)
..Nice!
