Cherries, Grapes, Lychees, Mangoes and pineapple,
the world's sweetest fruits.
Yet all I want
is to taste sweetness from your lips.
Botulinum toxin, Cyanide, Tetrodotoxin,
Polonium-210, Ricin are poisons that end a life.
Yet your hatred alone
would instantly end mine.
Earthquakes, Floods, Cyclon, Wildfires, Tsunamis,
disasters that erase cities.
Still, your anger
could ruin mine my world completely.
Heart attack, Stroke, Tuberculosis, Cancer, COVID,
illness that causes death.
Yet your sadness
affects me deeper reaching my bones.
Bharatanatyam, Disco, Ballet,
Hip-Hop, Salsa are famous dances,
Yet among them all,
I only want to move to your vibe, lost in your rythm.
Churches, Temples, Mosques, Gurudwaras,
Places made sacred by belief and faith,
Yet holier than all of them
Is this silent wish of mine.
To live in you like a prayer,
a whisper only to be heard by the soul.
To remain as thoughts in you,
Until the world perishes, quietly.
