A chance meeting—swiftly you came
Tenderness in idleness,
happiness in brusqueness, I had
underestimated chance,
repurposed romance also.
Solemnity in mundanities
defies the postulation:
a romance is born in
yonder places, yonder times.
Fidelity in song was how we
rendered an interesting tale.
Italicised movements unnoticed
daunts the very heart of me;
and the reveries in between them,
you intensify sevenfold.
Seemingly courageous,
and hopelessly yearning,
to my surprise, we had reached
an understanding.
Retreating is no option when
delusions lie within my confines
and besides, within your confines,
your offer is (irresistible) Nirvana.
Stunted by the reverence of things
under the sun of well-rooted belief,
neither did I wish nor want; how
did you know that I miss you?
An ensemble of thoughts; from there,
you became my delight and I yours.
