Stars in a moonless sky

Stars in a moonless sky



What is it that you dream about she asks.

Your Smile,Your look

Your Kiss,Your hug

Your love,Your trust

Your words,Your feelings

Your warmth,Your concern

Your presence,Your eyes

He replies.

And she smiles as she understands the language of truth.





She mulls over his words

Long after he has slept

She lies awake

Weaving with them

Her security blanket

Wrapping them around herself

And then carefully squirreling them away

On the days when there is nothing but blackness

For his words are the stars that illuminate her moonless sky.

And they are hers.

Nothing can take them away from each other now.



For words once uttered find their way into hearts

And later spill over to paper

In form of poetry.

Immortalised forever.



Perhaps this is what they call love.
