The Lighthouse

Dr.Sudhansu Dash

The stories in my head

Fighting against the currents,

Teach me how to breath underwater,
I promise not to wake up the dead.
Half-dead and alone,
But the miracle is that I'm still standing,
And my solid heart stays true and strong despite its aching.
My little hopes telling me to keep going.
To take nails and hammers to my frame,
And fix up these old bones in  my mind,
I know how to  breathe through the pain,
And when we sit together next,
I'll tell you about the stories in my head,

I find myself lost within your depths
My tongue laced with salty remains of each kiss

Waving their silent welcomes and farewells
 tonight I'll write a thousand words 
to shout what my mouth is too afraid to whisper.
Your heart makes me melt faster than ice on a blazing summer day. 
I could get lost forever and never ever want to return. 
You’re you and no one is better.That’s truer than true.

Only time will tell of what may come.
