'Tis The Season Of Love

WINTER

If a girl and a boy

Meets under their imaginary

Comic ideas of romance

And if they are less scientific

And more hopeless romantic

They'll understand that

Winter is the best time

for falling in love .

I know this because

We met in winter

Under the candle lit darkness of December

We held hands under the

Warmth of our blankets.

In this way our laughter

And chuckles creep in between

the lonely curtains of my room

post break-up. I turn nostalgic

because post breakup

I have seen you making

Latte to her

And oh! ‘How is she?’

Do you even tell her how

Thick lips and lazy snuggles

Make you drowsy in winters.

“I am sick,I'll lie down to you"-

You said to hide in

Your flawless laziness.

I wake up early in winter mornings,

And I hear the Christmas bells chime

The glassy windows

in my pitch dark bathroom

Sees your reflection

in its hazy face

and it irks me so much

That I put it with

the broken martini glasses of my garage.

I call it fatal and say

That the winter mist

Has made the glass go hazy.

I go according to our morning’s routine

And I feel your cheekbones

Gliding against my lips

Until at night,

Your palms seem wonderfully solid

But I held comforts in my coffee cup

As in the other side of the bed

You don’t even exist.

Your body feels

Like sand , it faints away in dribbles.

I hear a voice like your voice

And lying on the couch

He speaks a language like I do

And says that-

“If a girl and a boy

Meets under their imaginary

Comic ideas of romance

And if they are less scientific

And hopeless romantic

They'll understand that

Winter is the best time

For falling in love .”
