Cubby!

Piece of my heart, the whole of my love.

Tickled most adorably, and floppy ears perpetually Cerelac-smelling.

Cubby, a space and time in my life - a life entwined with mine. Here's to many more sleepless nights, rooms smelling of pee, and dancing around his meals.

I love you.

neon lights

it's shadowy and loud

with not a moment of

quiet

or relief

until they turn on

the lights, spot on

it is in the music

and the revelry

that you realize

tum ho meri

main tumhara

chota sa

sansar humara

aage jaane

ram kya hoga

kehta hai jo

kahe zamana

tera mere

pyaar purana

aage jaane

ram kya hoga

fingers cling

with the hope

and the knowledge

paradoxes entwine

themselves

with the waving

mobile lights

and suddenly both

your hands

are held by

the same person

but not one

obsess

fret

cry

scream

fear

run

but come back

to love.
