Solitude
I wanted to lie down
on the grass idly
and look at the clouds today
with the wind caressing my hair
It felt just like a day long back
when I had walked alone
through a thick fog
that divided for me
the visible and the invisible.
And then you had come along
lifted that fog layer by layer
held my hand
our fingers intertwined
spreading your warmth
seeping into my soul
getting closer every time.
The wind grew fierce
carried us to parallel universes
releasing only to watch
the stars above
on that quiet night
when we had gazed
deep inside the paradise
poured out our hearts
through that mist-covered forest
Today my solitude
felt pious for me
Today my solitude
smiled for you.
