Mid-night breeze !

Sipping my tea,

I look into the star lit sky!

Swishing loneliness far and wide,

Comes in the mid-night breeze!

Artful fingers tighten around the cup

and yearns for your warm grip!

Drizzling rain drops touch the cheeks

and make a stream of  tears !

Battering eyelashes rest for a while

bringing your smile into them!

Leaves rustle and make a noise

that sends a chill down my spine!

Involuntarily my hands stretch ahead

searching for you in the midnight air !

High pitched wails of cats

awakens me to reality!

Yet, seconds have to tick a long way

To bring you into my bay !
