Let’s make a home

Long into the night we spoke
Till the early hours of dawn
Building homes, airing dreams
Sharing a lifetime’s hope.


A spark of warmth,
A twinkling firefly,
Blinked and paused.
Whispering into the ear of dreams –
‘Let’s make a home’

A new born dream.
Born with the whisper - ‘Let’s make a home’
Akin to a warm nest
For warmth of love,
Repose and rest.

Let’s make a home.
With a ray of bright sunlight
In the glint of our love struck eyes.
With a palette of rainbow
Dipped in your winsome smile.

It is all blank now,
in hues black and grey.
Like the shadows of a sunny day.
Remnant of a sweet nothing.
Like nostalgia of a giggling chimera.
