..last nite..



i couldnot sleep last nite
the smell of the wet grass near the window pane
kept me awake

it took me to the land where there were you all over
where every thing had been touched by you..

and then..you came and stood infront
in a white.. silver armor

so bright that i looked down..
so beautiful that i gasped

rivers gushed
tears streaming down my face

so where were you..all this while
i was parched
i was dead..

can this be true
me with you and then?
so real..so close?

my soul beckoned
the gooseflesh ..the heart pounding each sec..

scared to take a breath..what if alls gone?
scared to move..
what if this is not true?

last nite it did rain..
too hard and the sound and the smell all mine..

last nite..
