Glancing to my side
you beside;
Sitting bunched with your arms clasped around your legs,
your face lightly resting on your knees
Half closed eyes giving a peek into their shine;
Half open lips hiding the world behind
The now-and-then flickering of the evening fire
caressing your soft skin in an uneven gold
And stray strands on your cheek dancing with abandon to the tunes of the summer breeze
Rhythmic murmur of the dark waters
occasionally drowned to sweet sighs
Few words of conversation;
Punctuated with animated silences
Singing notes, of soft strumming;
aimless music as a background score
Half empty glasses
carelessly put down in the river bed sands
Coming alive now and then
with moving apparitions of people walking by;
unseen & unheard
quietly creeping away
Giving way to the glistening stars that shine as smiling witnesses
One evening
Two souls
Million notes
Infinite moments
No thoughts
And a few steps away
A tent for two...
