One Of These Days…

I will burn the walls and break down those doors you have been hiding behind. I will set fire to the tethers and kick the ash with my feet as I trample through the fields leading to your house. You ran well and you ran far but now it’s my turn to catch up. The light that creates distance between us will soon fade away. When it’s dark, the distances vanish. The universe is then a big chalice of darkness, to be sipped from slowly – every drop valuable.

One of these days, I will swicth off the moon, erode the distance and find you in this blinding darkness.

These are the days I burn away under the Sun, toiling hard to get another whiff of air in my lungs, buying my daily dose of silence from people who feed off my being. This daily morsel of silence is just as important to me as my daily bread. One feeds the body the other my soul. You barged in and robbed me of my silence. You swamped my dreams and filled my desires with the dew from your lips and took away any little sleep I was left with.

One of these days, I will reclaim my silence and listen to you till the day breaks.

My scars lay open and I soak myself in the radiance of your smile. The scabs will dry and fall off one bit a time and by the time you come around to run your fingers on my chest, I will be ready for you. I will wait for you to come and envelope my face with your hair, drape the Sun and let your fragrance cloud my days and nights alike.

One of these days, I will find us a roof and buy enough sunshine to last us a lifetime

I know that life doesn’t bestow second chances. We made an exception and stole a few extra heart beats. I know, they won’t last me the entire distance and I will never have enough to come back but I will still run – make a dash and let my heart bang against my rib cage and rip it than sit by the shores and count the waves. I never believed in moderation and I would rather finish off with midnight resplendence than whimper slowly like a candle in wee hours. 

One of these days, I will have you believe me and you will admit that you belong. Yes, one of these days, before I am gone.
