Candyfloss

It was in my murky teen

That, flaunting myself, as was been

It was in my early adulthood

That, flipping in me, trysts with mood

It was in my nascent midlife blue

That suddenly I felt, fell for you.

It was in my early elderness

That, weeded was I, dark wilderness

I am still, clearing my lousy dirt

Eyes roam around, a filthy flirt

People's innocence, voluntary miscontrue

Deep within me, I know, am true

Yours me remain yours

Counted, weighed, dense candyfloss

Mine's you, just mine

Hollowed silence, shrieks and shine..

Wink

The king wouldn't always be there

The sky might not bellow its flair

But remember to look up in dusk and dawn

The king would wink the queen with a frown...

The king lives on for ever on and on

The queen pleads his return till the next sun shone...

Till eternity

How do I hear your beats

Without listening to the skies?

How do I feel your breath

Without touching the air?

How do I hold you close

Without being embraced by the rain?

I have learnt, my love

To live with you,

To love you till eternity

To be present in your absence.
