lingering

At some place isolated
water locked, uninhabited 
life surfing surefooted, unseen 
breathtakingly uninhibited
azure expanse kissing scarlet horizons
gulls gliding over water and sand
damp footmarks side by side
roaming on loamy land
barren beaches with twitched contours
grunting to continued wavy tease
palmtrees moving unrhythmically
in not-so-genlte, pushy breeze
wandering, wondering cumulus
cushioning soft feather pillow
resting, restive, restless, rustic
sweaty, musky, accusing, mellow
world so very complete...

Outside twilight 
merging to star studded night
inside flickering light,
moving shadows on illuminated screen
over loud music and melodramatic utterances
faint hum coming off projection den,
around handful others
indulged in themselves,
face salty, musky and damp
invited to dance there and then,
wish, l could dance
wish I matched in magnitude 
in mellowness 
All the news summed in just us
it was the dream, it would have been home
we would have been living thus
but, yes all we got was
some drops of dew
I know
how badly I wronged you.

wish I can strain out my guilt
wish forgetfulness could be summoned ...
