The Night Before

Lying alone on a boundless bed

With a feminine scent all over my body

Staring at the smartphone in my palm

Hoping that something wonderful would happen

Something to break this monotony

A beep, a message, a ring perhaps

But nothing does

And so I wait.

I wait an endless wait

I fall asleep, with open eyes

I go looking for her, in the nether world

Faraway, somewhere in the mountains

Where she said she lives

In the deep jungles of my heart

Lost, in the vastness of my bed

I search.

I search, and then it rains

It rains, with thunders of her wail

and I am lost

lost gazing in those deep kohl lined eyes,

mesmerized,

As they burst like dark clouds and wet my face,

with droplets of tears running down my cheek

I drown.

I drown, as she pulls me down

Down into the depths

Into the depths of her teary sea, 

vast, sweet and salty

Amongst the rusted remains of many a shipwrecks

That tells tales of a similar love

Of love that was, at last found, not lost

Of love that lives forever

I rise

I rise, in love

In love, I rise.
