they met.

it fell apart.

love stayed.

the red reflectors lit
the city lanes at night,
traffic lights fare well
for our heartlines,
and lest haste taints
the metro stations;
we can dance on the
way to our destination,
and what's the point of being
alive if not for getting lost
in the same streets i tried
so hard to find?

burnt ombre skies asking
is there any space on
your mind for me?,
but what am i to say,
when i still carry the
yellow leaves of last
autumn in my memories?
it's the little things,
my mama often said
as she tucked me in bed,
the stone-built houses of
old delhi that i saw
just once were suddenly
so hard to forget.

the road signs i never
paid attention to,
or the skyline i could
memorize by one look,
the turn of the footpath
from my neighborhood to yours,
or the outline of a faraway
mountain etched on your
hand like a scar;

they said love was for
two people who vowed
to each other,
a promise of eternity,
but i found love in the
rain splattering on my pavement,
in the winds from
a shallow creek,
i found love in all the
places they said it wouldn't be.

in all the places, i find and
leave a piece of myself, like all other people. and the earth to me, is
drunken in the remnants of you & i.

and there will come a time when we'll be found once again in the hint of dim morning light.
