Confession

Today he wishes to confess,
All that was lost in those awkward silences.
Of the sudden meaningless stares.
The smile that failed reasons.

Today he wishes to confess,
Words suppressed by fear.
The yearn of that burning heart,
On every touch of a stranger.

Today he wishes to confess
About glittering ‘diyas’ on Diwali
A wish to light them together.
Not once, not twice but forever.

Today he wishes to confess,
the words which went oblivious
for the eyes were all he could see.

Today he seeks all but reason.
Stop him not,
For he walks for confession.
