All I need is Your Smile

Shantanu Baruah's avatarConfab With Me

I don’t wish for those words
laced with love
that moves my soul
and soothes my being.

Nor do I wish for your touch
that spreads
some electrifying sparks
from my head to toe.

Neither the bearings,
nor the promises,
nor the long walks,
or any joy rides,
I don’t wish for any such worldly leisure.

Not that I don’t desire for such things,
or I don’t yearn for such longing and love,
it is just that I know,
that words may fail,
the touch may turn cold,
the bearings may dwindle,
the promises might break,
the walk, the rides all may vanish,
and I am afraid,
it might leave me with
some undue bereavement.

But one thing I will ask you to always carry
is that twinkle in your eyes
that sparkles and smiles
whenever there exists…

  2. Just loved the rawness and reality of the below lines

    “that words may fail,
    the touch may turn cold,
    the bearings may dwindle,
    the promises might break,
    the walk, the rides all may vanish,”

    Very thoughtful and heart felt.
