Above the orange

I was swinging.

Swinging high enough

For my toes to tickle

The sky.

I threw my head back

And the world

Turned upside down.

The stars shone,

The inky sky interspersed

With their

Intermittent twinkling.

I followed one

Through the vacillations,

When I heard

A nine-year old's mind.

The star was her grandfather.

He watched over her.

I looked at her

For one whole minute

And agreed

With all my heart.

The inkiness

Of the sky

Transcended its borders

At that moment,

My smile lost in it.

Some moments like..

A bass note.

A drop of rain.

Her smell.

Bark of laughter.

A cool breeze.

Comic strips.

An old friend.

Not getting the joke.

Smiles.

Chatting with Maa.

Tanned feet.

Chocolate.

Sudden inspirations.

Obsessing.

A moment of oneness.

With this universe.

"Just say you'll wait.. You'll wait for me."

Diary #2

I'm frozen

In this time and space

Vacant eyes

Seeking the touch

Of your lips

When they're half-closed

Fingers wanting

The smell

Of your hair

On them again

And my being

Anything but one

Everything but one

A lone light bulb

Struggles to fill

This night's silence

Its yellow

Illuminating smiles

The ones we captured

In pictures

Pictures of happy times

Pictured of times

Together

I'm frozen

In this time and space

To blink

Would want life.
