[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] Hold me closer, in your gaze, a magnet's pull that binds us to the dreamscape, ambrosial. Read me, wordless, in #eloquence of silence. past the grammar of love, just this: togetherness. #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] By the river-side, we sat not holding hands but deciphering the silence that found a place between us. The moon spread its #moonglade a silvery spread sheet where our nearness kept its tally. One by one, our life turned into film, the river, its canvas. #vss365

[image] Not to #purify, nor to protect— I hold the night in my eyes, just to dream of you, to surrender to sleep in the quiet comfort of your presence, even when you are not here. #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] My #intuition says today will curdle to memory, bittersweet, tomorrow ripen to truth; a pull so magnetic I lose the distance between us. You turn my expectations into possibility, turn me into love. Tell me, who are you, this thought I can't tune out. #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] Betrayed by a #mélange of emotions, her carmine blush recited the sonnet she only hummed. Amidst the orange& purple sky, the dark pits of her eyes brimmed, nimbus-heavy, floats. The intrinsic pressure builds she, in her solitude, mumbles his name & sighs. #foxprose #vss365

[image] #Sanguine silence sweetly started soulful sojourn, selecting stories, spreading seeds, scattering serenity, surrendering sorrow's shade, steadily seeking sunlight. #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] Come, dream with me in these story-nights, pause, cherish the beauty of illusion. You hold me, #comb the rain tangled in my hair, hum a love song. I become your reality, I read your verses, kiss your words, all of it a dream I refuse to wake from. #vss365 #foxprose

[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] After #exploring every hue of blue, twilight chose argent stars. Clothed in gown embellished by stars, night gathered lovers, poets, artists for a soirée, and there the poet's muse found out the colour of love: a melange of ache. #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] Coming into season, the yellowed hue upon the approaching winter sky. From the amethyst of warmth to the forgotten spring, a #reprieve of cold sighs, a shadow of autumn. No dins just ditty, that is season of love. #vss365 #foxprose

[image] Is it a #marvel or deep desire, love sang the song, and every note augmented, and they swayed along, orbiting around one thought; … a moment to call theirs, a lifetime to be together… #vss365

[image] I hide poems in random places. One waits in your cinnamon eyes, deep, dense, dreaming, reciting the verses we penned together. There, where the midnight moon turns muse to poets, we hid four lines on our love, before that goodbye.

[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] How to #sustain the rhythm of words when ache outweighs the living? the poet answers— the rose sustains wearing its thorns, the moth burns for love, the wave keeps reaching the moon though it never arrives, the kite kisses cloud tethered still to ground— you can too. #vss365

[image] I read your words when you preach silence; I seek your presence when #passion is redefined by your nearness. Tell me— how do I let you go when your absence still feels like your presence, when I breathe the very breath you leave behind? #vss365

[image] Roll the #dice, start the game, wait your turn, then play. Sounds like any board game, but isn’t this life, isn’t this love? You play your bit, then wait for turn to come again. A beautiful game, rigged by destiny. #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] How #remote, this notion that drives me from you, remote as the pole star is to the wanderer who still walks toward it. I wish it never came, this thought that makes me dizzy imagining a life without you. And you call it friendship, not love — how? and why? #vss365

[image] Night had an incomplete story to complete, so it lent the dark a taste of smoke and cedar, laced it with Jasmine— and I, with pen between my lips mistook us, for autumn: you the colour that stays, me, the leaf still falling. And we became the #autumnal tale. #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
