Wish list

Please take note

that I wish to:

See you for a whole day
looking just the face

sleep peacefully in arms at night

slumber an afternoon atop 
silence of tree-house

sail on backwaters with 
you by my side 
gaze sky asail from houseboat

with moon smiling, stars shooting 
across my eye

sit pensively by the lake

do yoga on sand and meditate, 
while ocean laps on 
to soak dry 'n' thirsty shore

watch a happy movie together

and share songs that delight

each has a collection

that's gathered over life's stride,

touch flowers to soothe ache 
in pining pores of finger

i'll gently caress then 
longingly with looks of soul
using single weed try and trace 

time-lines and touch contours 
of grooves and scar that adorn 
firm side of the face

will read a book lazily
hiding in a meadow

ride rightfully with content

lying wholesome on your back,

chewing morsels from love's hand
lick smear'd ice cream with a smack,

sip water from a cupped palm

then drink scenery
leaning, resting on your arm

glued safely onto your lithe frame

i'll hum lyrics of romance...

Wait there's more

- i wish to pay pilgrim 

to places you visit during day

and smoothen bedspread
you rested on then ruffled with 
at night

and hug her near and warm 
to gather all fragrances
of being my love's soul-mate
then play with him who's apple 

of your ever tender sight

salute soul that held you safe 
in womb, and greet father 
he had sired 
to hold you in his pride

meet friends with whom you share

laughter, many tales of woe

the brother with whom you

squabbled and sister 
who lovingly ties the rakhi 
each year on your wrist -

through them i've to reach you
through them i'll know
why fate delivered unasked for -
me to you
i really need to know;

and then 

when dream's over

I'll bow 
part for ever
to fanatically follow my faith map

will bid adieu
with happy happy smile

just before i do that but
sweetheart do remind
i have to chant my prayer
on tasbeeh round the neck
i'll dissolve thru' the jugular 
pulse throb through wild in carotid.
to place myself 
at home and safe 
in seat of beloved's heart.
