Wishful Fantasies

My garden blooms 
with memories. 
Sky fills with hopeful 
reveries. 

The weightlessness of
my heart must be a hint
of an unknown longing. 
The urge to fly- 
must be a sign of a 
distant love arriving. 

The persistent chirps of 
sparrows from the balcony,
The fresh shoots on the 
Almond trees-
Spring must be an 
anomaly of her feelings.

Sometimes, through my 
stained window, 
When I see a rainbow in 
the sky- I wonder if 
she put it up there.

Do seasons still wait 
For her approval?
The weather still complies 
To her instructions?

It almost makes me
Believe,
That somewhere,
She too thinks about me.
And the earth, 
Briefly bends in our 
Favour.
