Drops from Deeps Unknown

 

Drops from Deeps Unknown

 

A banter, a smile, a word, a glance

What does it take to light up the room you’re in?

My dear radiant face, my little sunshine

You’re all it takes

How I wait for you to come back and to hear the knock

Only to know a glow and happiness will enter the house

 

Do you really exist out there?

Are you me, am I you?

Whenever you’re inside my head

Perhaps when I’m driving and listening to music

And your face beams at me from the slate of my mind

Why does it feel like I’m looking into the mirror?

Only, its probably even better

 

The light also becomes warmth

In the solace of your embrace that envelops all

Like the wax of candles we light on weekends, I just melt

 

How can condensation be far behind the warmth?

Is that a drop of moisture in the corner of my eyes

The tenderness of your heart is unbearable that this is inevitable

Out of an unknown depth and sheer joy, the tear finds its way out

Soaks through your shirt and sits there on your heart, where it belongs



Dedicating this to dearest Dippy on this Valentines Day
