Love

PARAMOUR 
 
I am not your paramour 
nor you mine 
still there is a rhythm 
between the two of us 
likes and dislikes of you 
perfectly matches with mine 
 
I have seen you blush 
at my gaze and drop 
your eyelids like petals of lotus 
 
I felt your hands 
trembling in mine with 
slightest emotional talks 
 
I am witness to your cries 
with quivering lips 
and know how I felt 
the drums beating in my heart 
without uttering a word 
I went back into my own shell 
 
still I don't realise 
what is this feeling 
is it love or anything else 
at this twilight of life
