soul mates

far away from the world

two soul mates

swimming among the stars

and the dusts of the light

 

far away from the world

two earth people

one is you and

you know the other one

 

remember! under a chilly summer sky

you had blinked at me twice

first one was meant to say I love you

with the second, you wanted to say

fly me…

 

then not having a wink of your eyes

then not having a wink of my eyes

till our eyelashes having come off in the end

we exchanged glances by falling out

we overcame gravity

 

because romance was something volatile

 

far away from the world

where, God in laughter

whips as if it is a peg top

far away from the world

we, two soul mates

by throwing our bones to the street dogs

we are swimming among the dusts of the light
