Where did I misplace you?
How and when did I lose you?
Few days ago only it was so...
I walked those lanes holding your fingers.
A smile always beaming the way forward,
Filling my little world with wonders unknown.
You never cringed at my unreasonable pouts,
Stomping of my feet were the reason for you to spoil.
A hand protectively nudged me along,
Decorating my arms with bags full of whimsies.
A little nudge to the chin, all the price u took.
A big warm hug, everything in the prize you gave.
Today I went back to the same narrow lanes...
To pick a gift(?) this time for you.
You see I had gold in the pockets of my heart finally,
And it clickety clacked with a desire to shower you.
I wanted to knit you a blanket from the finest silks,
That sang of my love's need to cherish and hold you.
I wanted to weave diamonds in your tresses,
To twinkle like stars fuelled on pride.
But alas! Our skies have shifted and universes distanced enough,
Enough that what I offer has lost meaning in that space.
Too late, the lanes admonished...
For you and I have been forever displaced.
