Don't Go to the Morrows

 


Don't go to the morrows, 

I haven't had enough of you

For all my love that I contained 

for the past years was just released. 

And when I see you leave, 

I don't know what to do with all the love, 

I don't know how to complete our broken conversations. 

I told myself it was just a bad dream, 

Only it is not. 

People said we were too good together

and our smiles synced

And we seemed to be in Paradise of love. 

So don't go to the morrows, 

If we stick together, 

We can create a better symphony, 

we can be each other's muses, 

where you can paint me

While I write about you. 

And now that I think of it, 

It has always been you in my poems, 

Several people asked me 'who are you?

I told them you are everyone, 

Everyone and everything that loved me, 

But they were not convinced. 

They want 'the one'

I can't give them 'the one' when there is no 'one'. 

That's when you decided to go, 

Leave my thoughts alone. 

But don't go to the morrows 

If you stay, we can conquer many minds, 

Provide solace to many hearts

Like we always did. 

Tell me if I can chase you if you leave, 

Tell me you will return, 

Don't just hang me here like an unfinished portrait. 

I wish I had the courage to write without you, 

I wish there are enough choices for me to make, 

And despite all these, 

I wish you could help me write one last poem.

Recognition

'Happy Women's Day ' Those three words transformed her. It changed her imperfections into Perfections. It fastened her daily Chores. It gifted a smile to her Face. It motivated her Spirits. It gave rhythm to her Heartbeats. It made her Hairs dance. It increased the sweetness of her Lullaby. It brought back the glitters in her Eyes. It was the recognition from her Husband. A.C

Blame Me!

Blame me for not being you. For not reflecting your perceptions. For being me. For blooming the flowers of odd hues in my garden. For carrying a heart full of poetry and mind full of seasons. For being summer than spring, For being mist than rain, For listening than speaking, And for scattering than gathering. Blame me for deviating from the ideal human, Because my pursuits of happiness are different from yours. A.C

A Call for One More Summer Swim

  Dear Oliver,    Last summer was not only about freshly smelling grass and ripened peaches to me, it became something more than that because of you. Your arrival to help my father taught me lessons for a lifetime. It was you who gave meaning to my summer, to my days and its absurdities. When I first saw you, little did I realise that you are going to unravel the real Elio, an Elio who was so much in love. An Elio who was so confused at the choices of his love and who showed the courage to confront it no matter what. I remember when you whispered to me "Call me by your name and I'll call you by mine", the time when I felt as if the four lettered word Elio pouring out from your mouth is all I wanted to listen to in this entire universe. But sometimes life offers us a different path, away from what we actually want.  I still remember the fun we had at Bergamo, the way you kissed me secretly pressing against the walls, never did I experience that feeling ever again.
