love is
giving food to a beggar
petting a homeless dog
teaching my students
helping them clear the fog
love is
the new bud in my garden
cool air on a hot summer day
the thoughts of my childhood
as under the neem I lay
love is
my beautiful thoughts of you
the days and nights we spend together
the way we together are so true
winter night
cold on the street
dogs howl
feeling the passion
and staying in love forever
a dream unfulfilled
if we could
leave this world together
I wouldn’t mind
leaving today
and make our own little world
in another universe
lazing in the shadows
of the cedar tree
the cool mountain air
and the sun dappled parasol
a perfect moment in time
and
I wish for a wormhole
to travel back
into time
to a similar moment
with a younger me
snuggling in my mother’s lap
and dreaming
what the future will hold
dancing leaves
flecked with gold
a perfect day
the wrinkles
the crow feet
the laugh lines
each grey hair
I am in love with you
whatever age and time
for
I am in love
with your soul…. soulmate
