I have no clue
how many bottles
of wine it'll take
to console the pain
this time.

I was underwater
submerged for too long
my fingers are creased
my skin are coarse
and my soul, shrivelled

I heard you
beneath the water and
I followed your voice
I stayed afloat
just to keep my lungs
a-breadth

I thought I saw your face
but I was 10 feet under
and that was the circumference
we radiated

Hope was my only saviour
and my only calamity
it was an obsolete disaster
that we bury under

So, dear
don't save us.

I love you
I wouldn't hold back the only undeniable thought I would speak to you
even when we will return to dust one day
even if the nimbostratus swallow the sky
even if the ocean leave the tides
I cross my heart
in you i see infinite celestial-ity
And for that -
I loved you

Let us go
under the flickering lights
of this deserted highway
your face, reflection of the moonlight
I gasped, for air
Uncanny churned of loss words
My tips are craving for your lips
Move in, you waist around my fist
Your spine caved in to my touch
I feel your hair wallowed
And we relented.

Back to Back,
Your head fell
on the shoulder blade of mine

I crept within
the empty space
of your fingers

And followed
your strokes
back; forth
Tracing the sign
you said you belonged

For, the longest time
Yet
your face is the only remembrance I have

Where,
The proximity of my memory is bursting
to reach you

So,
stay tender
stay loving
stay. close.

My ink craved to pen down
the infinity thoughts - emotive frequencies
for you. You fill up each millimetre of space
confined in my million cells
multiply by a trillion
on the single line page

My thoughts could only fathom
the air you drew
which circled round
and round, round

We italic
reach the same line,
empty all over again.

Your varsity
churned chaotic
So achingly,
i had to withdraw
Into the Vast Ocean
which engulfed you
So I could, silently
embody you
