Time Lapse

 Two quarters past 5,

We sit there,

watch the sky lay a saffron lilac spread,

As if setting the sun asleep

After a long day.

Slowly as things unfold,

Like some layers of insecurities

And of love;

You felt like the courtyard

Of some old fort,

With such high walls

None could ever break into.

/Time lapse/

A quarter past 8,

We walk by the footpath

as our shadows follow,

Like it's just you and me 

in this whole world.

One of the stars falls by

And we watch it still.

We talk of the silliest,

of the adorable springs,

And of the lush green plants.

Of failing a subject or two,

And of lives and death.

/Time lapse/

It's three quarters past 9,

Another star goes down.

This time I see it,

I make a wish

To always stick by you,

thru your thick and thins.

Stick by you

like the Ursa major 

and it's seven stars,

that we spot each day.

To stay constant in your sky

Blooming white daisies 

and greeny plants,

All year long.
