Lapping Waves


Coaxing whispers of lapping waves, 
serenade me once more,
as I hop down the winter-borne streets, 
splashing puddles on rain kissed pavements.

The receding voices nudge to me twirl,
and swirl with cold evening breeze,
to break free from perceptions and 
the routine of a silent day.
The ships have longed sailed by,
leaving behind lapping waves,
Afar I watch the sun slowly sink, 
perhaps it winked at me too.
The apartment was damp, 
lit in sepia colour of yesteryears, 
lost in a solitary trance,

But today, I hummed a tune, and lit candles.

I glanced at you, and perhaps today, you smiled back too.
