ELUSIVE STARE

  All poems copyright: ravivchhabra.com Managing Editor: fnbworld.com  Acrylic on canvas by Ridhi Chhabra I n morning the screen shall light up again opposite the effusive glance. Her breath on my face brushing the cigarette smoke in fine strokes. I touch her face, bosom and the gleaming cheeks, desperate to hear a whisper or two in mirth as we play the music alongside. Her lips burst out with the laughter signature. Is it humour that keeps this rumour going. I probe as she takes a breather. She vanishes like the elusive chime untimed. Why her. Is it a rebound or are we future bound? Inner noise is a reliable partner. My expressions are effusive, yet, I sometimes hear her calling out my name. A distant game we play till the time she stays. Night for her is early. Morning and noon await our final journey.
