the woman of my life
is holding my hands
in warm embrace,
with her body next to mine
balanced on my
couch

with eyes closed
and lips pouting,
with soft whispers
of sweet nothings
and delicate strokes of
caress

and i slowly move,
timing my shift,
nearing her lips,
in sensual
slow-motion
moving

and i see stars
all around me
and traffic lights
all sparkling--
red and round,
no greens

i realised --
that i lost my
balance and fell over,
from the edge of the couch,
rubbing my eyes
open and round

i realised --
also in that
sudden of happen
that the woman
of my life is
non-existent

just an invention
of my lonely life,
just like this
'hot air'
scribbled
above!

Oh, but I understand the longing Sudhir! I am a lonely couch bunny too...altho I don't recall falling off of the couch, I do have tendency to fall out of bed. (sounds odd, but it makes blushing good sense when ya think about it!)

Sweet write! Enjoyed much!

Karilea, the "what for" is avoided because I had to fit the title with the poem... 7 of 6 lines with 6 blank lines and 1 smile..

here is the "what for?" I dozed off my couch last night watching some tv series, at 'as I recollect' a point where the leading characters were just about to enjoy a kiss... and when I woke up I had to conjure something about that 'whole' episode...  

Hey serene one... it is such a great pleasure to read your name here...  

Thanks a lot for coming by, my friends

smiles and regards,
sudhir

*grin* I just had to laugh when you fell off the couch...it sure seems sometimes that our dreams are real. I hope yours come true sometime soon. **hugs**

dream her there......

one day she will be there

get back up on the couch.... close your eyes.... it is in the imagining and dreaming and reaching out from the very essence of your dreams that will show in every word and action and she will notice..... and find you

some great lines in this one sudhir!

LOL at this one. I have an air chair. I leaned over to reach my pen and paper one day to write a "brilliant" thought before it could escape. And the chair rolled over sideways with me still sitting in it/ LOL, and to make it worse, I lost my train of thought and never wrote down that moment of brilliance. Thanks for the laugh.
Hope she shows up in living technicolor, complete with a big green light.

I like your math
and your piece!
Well done!

Midnitesun did not mention that her "air" chair is nessary to keep afloat among the ice flow

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
