Loving for both of us

Tonight I will not cry
My weeping eyes will not swim in to the darkness of this winter night

Your pebble that made a thousand ripples has touched the abyss of my heart
And no one could hear the thud
Muffled by the depth of my love
The ripples are drifting apart searching for the shore
You were once seated in all your glory
Soon the ripples will be no more

But tonight I am not crying

I woke up to the noise of the loneliness
And my fingers were searching for you
The sheets have wriggles painted on its canvas by your body
It is still warm where you slept like a baby
The pillow smells of your hair
Your presence still lingers in the air

I tell myself that you are looking at the mirror
Struggling to tie a knot on your waterfall hair
May be you are sitting on a chair
Sipping a glass of water
Making faces and pouts at the rising sun
May be you are watching the flock of moorehens swim
I tell myself you are near not too far

Before your warmth escapes these sheets and I freeze to death
Before the light you lit up in my world fades in to nothingness
Come back and ascend your throne
Come back and throw your pebbles in to the stillness of my life
Make some ripples and a loud thud

But last night I did not cry

Till you come back and snuggle in to our blanket
Pull it up to cover your nose and smile through your eyes
I will keep loving for both of us.
