19. “Dazzling Darling”

(…To be continued…)

Believing that Niki was avoiding him
Nil slowly walked back home…
& then…

She was a spark, a joyful flame
a little mischief in her name,

Soft & sweet, her magical sound
where laughter &
tears would both be found..

One moment she’d cry
the next she’d smile
That was our game … our playful style.

Why did she listen to every word of mine?
Why make me cry, then laugh in no time?

Day & night she lived in my thought,
Yet midway walking
why suddenly she stopped?

Every moment she’d call again & again
somehow increase my heart’s little pain…

&
Lost in thoughts so deep & wide,
Nil drifts into sleep at last
in thoughts slide…
