~~ Close ~~ Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

As the day
Draws to a close
I realise....
My thoughts about you
Are always open, they
Never close

No wonder,
I always find you
So close....
This closeness
Makes me happy
Whenever I'm
Morose

If you are
The thorn
I'm the rose
Protecting me
By staying close

As long as I live
You'll be always
With me for all
The shows, this
World knows....

For if you are
My poetry, I'm
Your prose....
In our thoughts
And feelings, in
Our highs and lows

Amongst the many
You I chose, for in
You I find my love
And repose, when
In your arms, me
You enclose, I feel
Safe from life's throes
