chimes of a forgotten melody

Perhaps, Cosmic infinities could not have contained our purposeless love. Maybe, Galaxies around us could not have sheltered our twilight hopes. Truly, Our only misgiving was an expanding universe harboring darker halves of us all. Sadly, We are but nothingness living an enlightened accident, Moving away from each other since our birth.

Who can gauge, The depths of human mind in thought, Effervescent streams of velvet hope, Red-shifting music that sink souls in thriving pools of celestial re-births and re-discoveries. Who can fathom, The distances a migrating bird must fly, Vagaries and silence of lives beneath, The art of a rare chemical dance and its unpronounced everyday evolutions, A story of recurring dreams, Painted with dark nostalgic loves left behind. Who can put to words, The grandeurs of extinct universes, Their sunlit banks, their wonderous cosmic evenings, Beginning of life, death of stars and a heroic force, Working upon primordial imperfections, To build home as we know it now.

What good are stars my love, If I cannot talk about them to you? What good is the moon, Upon whose silver canvas the dreams we drew, If you cannot see? What good are journeys, Miles I walk, Galaxies and heat deaths, If it isn't you that I reach? What good are memories, Travels in time, Like pulsars in bleak space, If I cannot find your laughs amidst? What good are spaceships, If there are only voids that I may reach?

Between you and me spreads this sea of irreversible void, I swim through it, I run whenever I can, but I pant, I faint, I lose hope eventually. Will you remember me? How I was, how I sounded, How my dreams were purposeful, And my arms rigid? Will you remember me and the depth in my love when I said so? I am replaced, I lose my sustenance, Filled with vacuum, Within, around, everywhere, I am now meagre, I am now meaningless, I am now nothing.

Let me go, For I've stood here long enough, Decaying, Leaking out all that is left, To show you your way back home. Let me go, Into my morbid universe, Diminishing, Holding onto the heaviness inside, I will walk with you for a while. Let me go, Let me fall into myself for a while, Disintegrating, But tell me you will come someday, And maybe together we'll evaporate into space. Till then I will wait.

It burns, My skin, my temples, These violent tempests within, Love always takes a celestial suffering, But then you churn my insides, My golden arms stretch, Your skin, your temples, Clothing them, It glows!

I feel our bed teleport-ing, Wormholes and next, Stars burning out and bursting away into clouds of velvet, purple and blue, We move on through, Pulsating lights around, lighthouses in space, And our hearts beating wild, Our bed, our dreams, our thoughts, Your laughs echoing through the infinite, And my words failing to grasp the universe in your smile, We move on through, Onto our moon..
