My January

Let us take a bus and travel till the last stop it can take us
Far enough for us to not remember our daily chores and hassles
And on reaching, let us not be in a hurry to return
As we alight from the bus, let us discover happy faces with funny accents
Let us check in to a place that has a bed and a fan
Where the walls are clean enough and the paint, old enough
Let us ensure we get a room with a window that opens up to our conversations
And our silence
Let us take our clothes off for they are filled with malice
And let us lie down next to each other for our bodies and mind are tired
Let us lie down till we feel lost and awkward;
till all the discomfort subsides and all the past becomes thin-air
And as we absorb each other’s’ breath with our eyes, let our bodies be in warm embrace of each other
Our legs intertwined
Our hands affectionate enough to discover the whereabouts of the other
Our eyes filled with tenderness
And let us feel the warm fuzzy feeling deep down and skin up
Let our goose bumps be the only one with voice
Let us be upset
Let us be happy
Let us smile till we cry
Let us cry till we laugh
And let us laugh till we are short of breath and words
And all this while, let us forget
Forget the weight of the pasts and the mountains of the future
Let us be unaware of what we hold in our hearts’ crevices and what our mind tricks us into suspicion every time
Let us give in to reality.
Let us give in to deception.
Let us give in to love.
Let us give in to lust.
Let us look deep into each other’s eyes and when we get tired, close it
Let our lips be warm and wet enough
Our bodies like a knot
And let us, my darling, be happy and content with what we have and what we shall get
For the nature offers plentiful to the one that keeps the door open
Let us be a gentle peaceful lake
Let us be a tempestuous stormy ocean
Let us be the depth of the night
Let us be the light of the day
Let us be the comfort of the moon
Let us be the rage of the sun
Let us be the thunder
Let us be the rain
