A Wishful Existence

Writer: Saheli  DeySaheli Dey

I wake up hoping to be the burning summer,

That softens the coldness of your heart.

Would drape your body in my sheets of warmth-

Our union would be a melting point of art.

I wake up and yet still dream,

Dream of an existence where I am yours.

Desperately holding on to a heart that you steal

Every time our paths cross.

I wake up and write tales in my mind,

A universe that we escape to in each other's eyes,

The thread of fate binding our souls,

Within imagination, I give truth to my lies.

I wake up just to fall twice and thrice.

If I was drought, then you'd be rainfall that is suffice.

In a hope-lost civilization,

You'd be the leap of faith I take numerous times.
