Between You And Me Poem by Deepak Manchanda of Delhi

Between You And Me

Rating: 4.8


Between you and me
In all these years
That have been
There has come to live,
A poem.

A poem
I can sometimes glimpse
And sometimes hear its whisper
Or simply feel it watching us
And hurriedly scampering away

Between you and me
There has come to live
A poem.
That appears
When I see you sip the wine
And chuckle into the phone
As you absently twirl
A strand of hair.

A poem
That permeates
The yours affectionately
Dishes of crumble and cream

A poem that lives between us
That sometimes
Grows into poetry
As you shadow your eyes
And put on some shimmer
Spray some fragrance
To make poetry take wing
With dinner for two
Or maybe more.

Happy birthday to you, Punu
To you and to that which lives between us.

You are putting too big a responsibility on this little poem to sustain " all marriages" . Keeping marriages together is that elusive mysterious thing that we must know is there but never really encounter. Thank you for appreciating the poem.

" Love" is an overloaded word. But yes, it has a way of making its presence felt even if you say it or not.
