[image] Whisper to me — lips on skin, #tenderly the amour. Whisper to me — eyes on skin, the desire. Whisper to me — fingers on skin, the yearning. Let it settle, tears of love, joy unraveling into delight. Ravenous. #vss365

[image] When darkness surrounds you, and light hides behind murky shadows, one #tends to give up hope, until a spark, a flotsam of light, becomes the adhesive that holds you together, stops you from breaking into a million smithereens. #vss365

[image] Under the azure, along side the nimbi and rains, in maddening season of thunder and storms, of serenading love, I #swoon, I rise… #vss365

[image] The spring of #florid glory, beauty found flowery notes filling pores, the spaces between ribs, their togetherness birthing desire, an aphorism of forever in sensual sensibilities. #vss365

[image] Let me #pull you closer, my dear, and whisper what my heart still holds, how many times you chose your indifference. How much I loved you. How I don’t, anymore. You are a distant star I no longer wish to claim. #vss365

[image] He sculpted poems on her skin with his lips, verse by verse, word by word. He folded into her dancing tresses, fragrant, wordless, #unabashed and became a dulcet tune. step by step. He caressed her aphonic surges note by note, until her silence sang. #vss365

[image] All #roads lead to you, every thought a home. I keep iterating these lines till the journey and the destination merge. That’s when I’ll know, you are mine the day I believe we were never two. #vss365

[image] The quiet rebellion singed inside her, #defiance wearing her own face. She was his hermetic lover, his paradox: wanted, never craved, needed, never necessary. She became an enigma he kept like a locked room he was afraid to unlock, and afraid to leave. #vss365

[image] In the dainty dark, when love wandered off into the meadow’s hush to sit with itself, I felt the soul #depart from my body. Is love the soul, or does life seek love only to hold one? #vss365

[image] Time laid down a statement, reasoned for logic’s sake, destiny led the world in its own manner still, a #magnetism beyond logic. Both true. Both gospel. Both contradicting. #vss365 #foxprose

[image] I lived my sins, I have loved wholly; I have let my carnal desires #conquer my virtues; I have dreamt of us, I believed in dreams; I know, you share the same emotions; An exotic exodus of love, that deep that damning, that ours. #vss365

[image] A #frolic of emotions, a flicker of togetherness, a pause held between two mouths, neither one letting go first. They wrote love in breath, sealed it with a kiss. #vss365

[image] What a tease, you slip into my thoughts, mischief in your eyes makes me blush. I read sad lines, still smiles #sprout, traitor mouth curving at your name. Why are you everywhere, even when absent, your memory more distracting than your hands. #vss365

[image] At the #coast where waves crash, a solitary heart collides with self doubt. It believes in love, though heartbreak wears its faith down to sand. But the waves ebb, the waves flow, &belief returns stronger than the breaking, love, eternal as the tide. #vss365

[image] Love is no #sprint of heartbeats, frenzied in a lover’s presence, it is the tortoise, slow, unhurried, taking every turn, still walking long after the hare has stopped. #vss365

[image] It was last night I heard a knock, a name, familiar, calling. I walked up, heard it say, “I’m happiness. We haven’t met, but sit with me, be friends.” In #stunning silence, a tear spilled, and I found forever, within. #vss365

[image] I was riding the bicycle of life when love collided, pedalling past, I ignored an innocent beauty. Then, another curve, another bend, love came galloping, rosy-tinted, and I hit the #brake. Our gaze locked. He was riding the same bicycle, forever already in motion. #vss365

[image] I’ve grown fond of your silence, our breathers when words drown in love’s own drunkenness. We unceremoniously mute the video call, read each other’s eyes, skip every question, sail on one long #urge, crossing distance in microseconds. That’s love, in silence. #vss365

[image] Rains, clouds, thunder, a #shift from warm day to moist evening; you, your voice, your touch, another #shift to no words, no thought, only moist eyes; and then this last #shift, one I never imagined, now simply life, a nothingness I carry. #vss365

[image] I am desperate to recreate the magic of words, at the precipice, pen in hand, weaving thoughts, bridging gaps. But still I #cling to one thought, one person, one imagination, you. Tell me, how do I rekindle this fire with embers dying and words rioting. #vss365

[image] They moved toward the unmapped country of love, fighting the #headwinds, defeating even the tailwinds, suspicious of ease. They did not know what it would cost, what would remain, but they knew this journey was endless. #vss365

[image] Let me strike a deal, an #embrace for an embrace, a kiss for a kiss, a dream against a dream. But for one lifetime, I want all your lifetimes, a forever, still in the making. #vss365

[image] Dear you, #arrive— before the spring retreats, before summer camps around our seasonal romance, before monsoon brings its long wait, before love’s autumn takes its quiet leave. Yours, a flavour beyond love. #vss365

[image] In the storm where #chaos brews, a story, I find myself dwelling in the sojourn that’s you. In every thought that leaves its imprint in ink and paper, it becomes you, a bedlam of my lawless emotions. In my existence, in my being, in my dwam, it’s you. #vss365

[image] The string of love, stretched but not broken, when he questioned my love with silence. I waited with patience, for words to come my way, but #shrewd quietude handed me only another episode of wait. #vss365 #foxprose

[image] You are a decadent #temptation— chocolate laced with orange, nutty bites of love; rich cocoa melting every inhibition, creamy, promising forever; caramelised craving, a flake of salt on my tongue— yearning. #vss365

[image] At the #summit, where everything went silent— no thoughts, no words, just nirvana— I found my peace beyond the dark, the fear, the doubt. #vss365

[image] Dear you, be the poet, I’ll be the poem, unfinished, waiting for you to name what I am. With metaphors and adjectives. of being looked at like I matter. Yours, Miss #Supercilious-in-Love P.S. — your love is the ego I can’t apologize for. #vss365

[image] #Balanced on two parallel lines, they dreamed one destination, believed in a love of their own kind, gave partnership a new name, a new meaning, steady as a pair of scales. #vss365

[image] The wind plucked the harp, a melody so sweet they swayed, mesmerised. #Tailwind and the night’s restless spirit conspired, pressed them close into love. Caress met inhibition, and left no space between them. #vss365

[image] In the non-fragrant #garden of bougainvillea, love was one rose, so full of fragrance, it alone claimed the whole place. You are that rose, who makes me whole in this brokenness I grow with. #vss365

[image] It rained today, so beautifully, as if you were pouring your love, unspoken. Was that drizzle your footnote on my dormant heart, waking what sleeps? This monsoon, just confess, #reveal, let the sky say what you won’t. #vss365

[image] You became the forbidden #fruit, A sin that I could not let go, I devoured and felt the poison run through my veins, you became my stubbornness— the one wound I refuse to heal, the only hunger I still trust. #vss365

[image] #Tend the sapling of love, till it roots into the soil of life, and wait for it to blossom into an orchard to bring in seasons of shade, and strangers home. #vss365

[image] Their pain grew on #fertile soil of love — separation, a silent poetry of war and peace. She loved him like Tolstoy’s prose, he loved her like Neruda’s verse — a journal kept, called forever. They ached, yet loved. They pained, yet loved. They loved. #vss365

[image] Last #batch of yellow lilies lay scattered on the pillow that witnessed our union, a nascent beginning, some withered, some crushed beneath the weight of desire, some still inhibited, some coy, some fresh, the silent story of love and lip sealed moans. #vss365

[image] They held each other long till time forgot to move, silence thickening into bond, #patient touch asking for one thing only: to call this union imperial. We were you, me, names borrowed from another lifetime, waiting still to meet forever. #vss365

[image] #appraisal of our story. strangers, then acquaintance, then lover, this is how we were valued. now, what remains is forever stamped and sealed, bound by time to outlast it. #vss365

[image] I twist, I #turn, restlessness has moved address, from my heart to my mind, the shortest journey, the hardest one. And with that, night turned in insomniac’s paradise, and day an overthinker’s heaven. #vss365

[image] Morning #descends on my veranda, chaos, imperfection, coffee cupped in both palms. I remember that day we shared the morning rigmarole as equals. Time turned its wheel. We drifted. No more coffee, no more talk, only a silence with roots. #vss365

[image] Did you know colours define mood, a story of unvisualised emotion? When I understood this, I saw the color of numbers, lifetimes of togetherness, a #summit of painful separation. You and I narrate our stories, recite our pain on either side of day. #foxprose #vss365

[image] More often than not, I wonder if longing has a colour — maybe a hue of crimson, or a shade lighter than mikado yellow. I #toil and paint to the mood of the ache, then surrender to the subtleness of monochrome — the shade of my own shadow. #vss365

[image] “Do you think the #creation of soulmates was to help us believe in loving more than one person?” “What do you mean?” “You’re my lover. He’s my soulmate. He knows me deeper than you do.” “What?” “You hold my heart. He holds my soul.” #vss365

[image] One more step, a few more doubts, A slight #rift & chasm opens. One more step, a little further into trust, A few more beliefs & bond deepens. Same words, pasted differently, A hand weaves togetherness, Another, cunningly, separates. The rift: a ruin or a route? #vss365

[image] You speak of herons and flowers, of night and dark, in one breath. You find possibility in our togetherness, and #embrace uncertainty. In this, I see unconditional love, spring living in you. But I fear you’re the illusion I keep calling real. #vss365

[image] Their feet in footsie, their coffee breaths mingled, the air smelled of love, impassioned, a tender lovemaking; The #momentum took a pace, and a pause followed, breaths agitated, now rested, they loved in fractions but it felt like poetry. #vss365

[image] Defying inhibition, giving in to #temptation, she whispers, “mine.” He, who co-authors her love story, her forever written in one word— fluent in love, silence his only language. #foxprose #vss365

[image] “I am waiting at the airport, where are you?” A voice note.After ten unanswered calls. Still nothing. She dialed again.Texted again. The silence answered first. “When did my own love become the #villain in my story? Is this destiny, or did my heart simply fail me?” #vss365

[text] Streets run red, cities crumbled to bone, an era of war carves its name in stone. Somewhere not far, a #dove lifts its voice, speaks of peace, of love. Both worlds live not across distant land, but within us. Choose wisely. #vss365

[image] Let’s draw this chapter out, paint us in hues of togetherness, #arrive at love.” “Why announce us? Let us just be & become.” “Love wants assurance let’s make us immortal, make us forever.” “Then let this end, & let us live forever in our incomplete love.” #foxprose #vss365
