Jump

I took a plunge with utmost uncertainty,
Wearing a sweater and a dress,
Matched with an orange lifevest –
A combination I instantly regret.

My whole mediocre life flashed right before me,
As the wave of the sea splash wilder and continuously,
Single-handedly engulfing my fear and body,
But resurfacing with new-found strength and memory.

The sea must have taste my tears and agony,
And blend it with its mystic, magical beauty.

Hours

It’s scary how I spilled my thoughts,
And how I shared more than I ought;
But with you, I feel comfortable,
With you, every mistake seems amenable.

It’s scary how everything unfolds,
Yet in every conversation, I am consoled.
You are a natural sweet talker,
It’s like you’re born to be an actor.

Words of comfort naturally flows,
Like a gentle sea breeze that blows,
From your lips to my ears,
Then everything else disappears.

Sometimes I want to record your voice,
And listen to it silently by choice,
To inspire my heart in producing words,
A simple poem or a beautiful ode.

But I’m scared to take a leap,
Because I might fall too deep.
So for now, love will be keep,
For sometime, I’ll just let it gently weep.

For now, I’ll let it sleep,
While my pen eagerly bleeds.
