Love Poem: You

Written by: Jeevika Rani

You


In breathy whispers, in clueless sighs
In gentle shivers, in shallow gasps
In soundless mirth and in peals of laughter
In explosive anger and in excruciating grief
I see you
I feel you
Wishing you were real,
not a figment of my imagination


For every day that passes by
I'm swamped by your thoughts
My hurricane Katrina
My halcyon tide
I close my eyes, smiling.
Knowing, that I'll meet you on the other side


I see you in everything around me
And I feel you in nothing at all
The ghost of your lips on mine
Your phantom fingers on my hair


You are the butterflies in my stomach
The waterfall in my head
You are the fire blazing behind my eyes
The starry mesh in my heart
My Aurora Borealis

Do we belong with each other?
Answer, I wouldn't know
But how beautiful is that I write all this
As I know,
You are the beauty I see in every verse
