I wrote a book, a whole novel.
It had all of it;
The chapter where I almost drowned;
My survival story;
Time when we said Hello;
Pictures of places we met and made love;
It also had a lot of fiction;
Chapters which i would love to create;
Collage of future times to come;
Sights of Goa and Greece and Vienna;
Hands held, lips locked, hearts entwined;
It had us all over it;
In the smell of the corrugated cover;
In the twists of the texts;
In the indent of the quotes;
And curve of the commas;
But you chose the side lane at the next exit;
Facts and Fiction are no more mingled;
Colors evaporated from few pictures;
Text lost its angles, fell flat on its face;
Commas and colons are fullstops now;
It's no more a novel, but a bygone short story!
P.S. This doesn't need a picture.
If you can't see one without one, you did not understand it!!

"The ones we love always stay in our heart. The roads may take us to different places, but always remember, they intersected once and on some turn they may bring us back!!"
So wonderfully you express the emotions Richa, am falling in love with your poetry :) keep writing..
I loved 'the curve of the commas',
it made me think:
"your body curved around me, a comma demanding pause for breath, our sentence is unfinished"
PS. Does this mean what I think it might?
Thanks Tavish.. they shall keep coming :)
@Neha: Thanks for seeing them as more than words!
@Anonymous: Thats such a wonderful thing to say. But you must know, sometimes after an intersection, roads become parallel; never crossing each other again.
@Preet: Thanks Preet. You urself write so beautifully!
@Heather: Yes Heather. It is the implementation of what we discussed.
