Love Poem: Reminiscences of Being Together

Reminiscences of Being Together

Snowing tonight ~ whispering, luminescent, dazzling,  
                           Air misty, heavy ~ wind calm, serene, 
          Sights outside blurred, indistinct through the hazy window glasses, 
                       Rooftops getting blanketed with white laces ~ 
                               A picturesque winter wonderland, 

                           Treetops embellished with silver ornaments, 
                             grasses caressed by soft touches of snow,  
                                          My heart is with you, 
                    Craving for the profound tenderness of your company ~
                                              If only you knew. 

                         At the first demure light of dawn, open my eyes, 
                                           It's only you I think of. 
                             In between numerous mundane chores, 
                            Multitude of unavoidable responsibilities, 
                             Hours of running meaningless errands, 

                                             I ponder about you. 
                       At the end of an arduous day, before retiring to bed, 
                              who fills my heart with magical dreams?
                                 You ~ and the twinkle of your eyes ~
                                              If only you knew! 

                    So far away, exuberantly exploring unfamiliar countries, 
                    You are immersed, building a meaningfully bright future, 
                               Surrounded by charming delightful folks, 
                Sometimes a mysterious dream may wake you up at midnight, 
                                                 You wonder why! 

                             I write and write, pour my deepest thoughts, 
                         My innermost hopes and desires, pains and agony, 
                   Spend sleepless nights until my eyelids droop in slumber ~
                                                   If only you knew!
