An Album of Love

by Released from Confines

Chennai
December 2006

Sandy beach, gentle breeze
Sinking sun, golden waves
Flip and flop of receding feet.
Folded chairs, closed up shades,
Clink and clang away in peace.
A lonely bench under a tree,
On which we sit, She and I.
She rests her head on my chest,
And buries her ear in my heart,
That whispers my love
In sweet lub-dub tone
forever, forever, and beyond.
Locked in an embrace, I relive
Her kiss, kiss on my hand
forever, forever, and beyond.

Sinking sun, haven’t seen,
Honking cars, traffic sounds
Suburb town, homeward bound.
Banging door, toy strewn floor
Children 3 and 1 having fun.
Opposite to a TV, a lightly worn couch
On which we slouch, She and I.
Marks of time gentle but shows
On our skin, bone, body and soul.
She rests her head on my chest,
With a weary sigh and shut eyes
And buries her ear in my heart,
That whispers my love
In sweet lub-dub tone
forever, forever, and beyond.
Locked in an embrace
With a crackle from aching joints,
I relive her kiss, kiss on my hand,
forever, forever, and beyond.
