Without saying a word, you can light up the dark ...

Without saying a word, you can light up the dark.
Sans blood and breath, you can pump up the heart.
Its unbelievable at times, how you understand it all.
At times I trip just so that, you can halt my fall.

There are times when you say, "how can You be aloof amidst crazy noise".
Why's it so difficult to see that with you, am just listening to your eyes.
When your eyes do the talking, surrounding world takes the back seat.
And then you naively ask me, "M., do I still make you miss a beat".

There are milestones I pursue and achieve, yet never feel the high.
Then there is this random brush of your hair, that still makes me sigh.
There are evenings that I have spent, just looking at you through the rainbow of drinks.
And have noticed you catching me every single time, when I somehow forgot to blink.

Years are mere numbers (Six,today, right?), occasions just shallow instances, their significance just evaporates, as we grow.
Loving can be limited to days, occasions, is something that I critically(and sadly) don't know :-).
But do continue to express your will, through your sublime smile and love set glazed.
Because just being with you and to experience all of above, has an ineffable intoxication and keeps me dazed.
