Romance, revisited….

By

Over the decades,
Since we parted ways,
I often wonder,
Whether I know you,
Or I donโ€™t,
How much I know you,
Or how little,
Although not important now,
As miles apar
t & blindfolded,
Sometimes we swim with the tide,
Sometimes against the flow,
Guided by the beats of a lone drummer,
Distant, and unseen,
To which our hearts beat,
Slowly at first,
Passionately thereafter,
As the storm on the horizon,
A speck little while ago,
Engulfs us ,
To end the confusion, forever,
Of whether we know each other
Or we donโ€™t.
Of how much we know
each other,
Or how little,
As for me the world shrinks,
To the size of your embrace,
Your breasts rest on my chest,
I feel the throb of your heartbeat,
And the contour of your lips,
As they change,
To take the shape of my lips,
And your breath,
Warm and fragrant,
Becomes my lifelineโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

    A Romance which looks like ended in separation. Remembrance an act of Rewind and the Male’s view. If the female remembers ? A different perspective emerges, try a fictionalised poetry once a way. Expand imagination.

      U have grasped the nuances I was trying to bring forth through d experiment……although it is different from my usual genre but then an artist is not complete if he or she can’t explore all the rassas….

    Very well composed; some images are very physical which lends earthliness to the verse; imageries could have been more subtle.
