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 and wide
Nil drifts into sleep at last,
in thoughts slide…
