One last time

Come my friend and hold my hand for sometime

Enough have you walked so sit beside me a while

While the dawn is distant and the hue of dusk still sublime

There are miles to dream of yet, so are the reasons to smile

An obliterated world filled with some memories so sweet

Where roses are still intoxicated by your undying fragrance

That secluded corner of day where we used to meet

And sing carols of life among whispers of heavens

Wetness in raindrops, nothing but your dripping gleam

Kissing insipid terrains and unleashing the aroma within

All this would come to an end so soon, it did not seem

Against the supremacy of fate our slender wrists couldn’t win

Yes, I’ve tears in my heart not because we could never meet

Nor because silence always hypnotized my fluid words

But for the irony this hour’s given me before the tacit retreat

When I’ll become a part of sky with those soaring birds

Poignant remembrance of yours, I will keep in my eyes

And close them forever so no one can ever take it away

Love between us, unborn yet immortal on the silver skies

Perhaps will manifest itself, immaculate, some day

The restlessness of waves and their longing for moon

A silent witness of which is the solitary shore

Drenched with a taste and hope that they’ll come soon

Forever in incomplete embrace, when did it ask for more?

Always content with a handful of oysters left behind

As souvenirs of a brevity, plain, wet and white

Hopeful that its voice will resonate across until the waves find

And rush for an eternal rendezvous despite the moonlight.
