Invade

Oh my love! How do I say
Words don't seem to know enough
When spaces we created have burnt bridges.
Gaps stare into a blank or full mind, I don't know
Tried much did I to keep you at loving sight
Love and care, they just ebb as they rise
How can I make you my shadow if you don't stand behind?
This is no capture my dear, but invaded am I
It's love that shows up as a tear as I stand looking as though witnessing your presence,
Somewhere under these skies
Joy is my wish for you, peace be ours maybe or not, someday
When the world would seem even brighter
Just when smiles touch and eyes smile.

Cauvery am I

I danced to your tunes
As I cascaded along gleefully.
I gurgled so much to see your giggles.
Sunshine or storm, I embraced you,
The moment I saw your face.
Companions, I knew none other than you
Time soared, rockets flew, coloured lenses you wore,
Smoke burnt, soil cringed,
I still smiled to see you laugh
Oh dear!  Tears I can't cry as I dry
Will you turn your heart to bring me to greet you?
I silently wait, Cauvery am I,
When trees walk by my side,
Sea of contentment will be my sight
For your breath to be bright.
Now will be forever if you choose right.
