April... you are here

& the sky looks like a wallpaper
    
vibrant with spring colours
   
bright, summery ,sparkling with cerulean hues;
    

with a book in my hand, I sit on the verandah
    
the music from the gramophone

adds up to the melancholy  vibes

there is an emptiness, seated deep within

I do not know why

is it shallowness in conversations
   
or is it the performative actions

the world  adorns itself with fake looks;



but something  as if changes

a knock on the door

a pause, a silence

and then...then you enter
 
just like April, you too are here
 
it feels like a fresh breath of air

We  smile   &  we kiss

I look into your brown eyes

with longing & despair

hoping  to decipher

a lot that is said

and a lot that remains unsaid
 


tell me, tell me 

 O' April

what happens  after ...
