Her brush and my words 8

 


A conversation

 You are deep within me, and I am deep within you,

Just go deep down in your heart

O! Earth you lay at the bottom of my heart

O!  Ocean you live in the bottom of my heart too

We exist on each other’s base.

Up here we are striving for our rights

You gush out to fight

Why do you hit so hard, is that right?

And leave your imprints on my surface bright.

You keep trying to throw me out

How much would you dig me out?

I come to douse off the fire which owns your heart.

Oh! No, that keeps our love alive

The warmth of the fire whirls up the air

To make you purer, to take you higher

Pulls you up to play in the space with the wind

You dance there in the lightning springs,

On the beats of the thunder, in the hall of wonder

You rock and roll, scroll and troll, curl into pearls

And come down to me again to flow in my veins

I embrace your moist to nurture your children

They need you as much as they need me

They need the warmth of the fire, don’t douse it off

They need the swirls of the wind, to sway their arms in the space

Be my confidant as I am yours.

Let our contours compliment our dignity

We promise to have the secret vigilant space between you and me.
