YOU HELPED ME TO FLOW.......

FEATHER FLOATING ON YOU...........

My heart was beating slow and empty,
It had nothing to hold, no one to give sympathy,
Why I was sitting here, looking there, every where?
When I closed my eye lids, they had warm droplet on them,
I knew then though, the sky was not feeling rainy.
Air was touching my neck, giving me push to hold you,

Just at that, for a fraction, from the corner of my tears,
I saw a feather floating on you.

I was holding tight both femurs in my slim armpits,
As if, losing my control in you while diving,
The pressure of my own cage was not enough,
To hold my heart, who was bleeding sorrow heavily,
The next wave came within me, and I sobbed in groove speedily,
In there I saw nothing and just a ray coming from you,

Just at that, for a fraction, from the corner of my tears,
I saw a feather floating on you.

Sounds on my ears were many, though I identified none,
In my shadows of dreams, they had no piercing tone,
A small ant was trying to bite on my cheek with lot of verve,
Nothing felt to me, as it did, I had lost all my nerve,
The wet land was not giving my pads any cold,
All the rocks had a slip to make, splendidly bold,
That ant got washed as I shed another, seeing (at )you,

Just at that, for a fraction, from the corner of my tears,
I saw a feather floating on you.

Wished that you had a body to feel and accompany,
But I found a searching soul in your gradual symphony,
Least I am thankful, you gave me permission,
A hope that, you always give me with your anticipation,
Sweet taste that of your flowing vein, lives in many,
Reason for them to throw in you a wishing penny,
I think aloud this, fear that I will not wake you,

Just at that, for a fraction, from the corner of my tears,
I saw feather floating on you.

I turn to return, leaving my healing body behind,
The time, a thing that may make it a healthy and kind,
Promise I can make though, my feelings will never die for you,
I want nothing but a presence in enchanting warmth of you,
A drop from the sky makes a sudden quiver in you,

Just at that, for a fraction, from the corner of my tears,
I saw a feather floating on you.

It seems like an angel has taken a long swim in you,
Gave, oh my friend, his all mighty holiness to you,
Just at that, for a fraction, from the corner of my tears,
I saw a feather floating on you,
I still envy it,
But just that, for a fraction, from the corner of my tears,
I saw a feather floating on you; a feather was floating on you.
I was there, saw it, floating on you, i was floating on you............ i was floating on you.
