The Beckoning

Why do you smile..clad in the tranquility of a moonlit night..?

Beckoning me with your unsaid words..

Yet when I try to write you back..

You disappear into the dawn of the morning light..

You call out my name.. lowering your eyes in bashfulness..

Like the sun lowers the dusk on the earth

Since when I've been waiting to be burnt in your flames..

To take you in my arms..save you from the humiliation..

Of broken promises.. of love nipped mercilessly in the bud..

Time flows away.. like an impatient river..

As both your yearning and my wait get lost in the humdrum of life
