Midnight Musings - Where You Reign Inside

 

It’s just neurons, transmitters, and DNA’s old code

Yet the feeling arrives like a spell, like alchemy unfolding.

In the day, a thought of you drifts in

And my mind scatters like butterflies in a sunlit garden.

At night, it returns soft, glowing

And the fireflies of memory rise, comforting me.

I don’t know anymore if I love you or the echo I’ve made of you

Either way, no other feeling fits anymore.

I dissolve in thoughts of you and feel myself disappear

But then I realize I’m flying in the ocean of madness.

Longing follows me everywhere I go

Even shadows carry the shape of dreams that can never be true.

Like tides pulled by the moon’s silent pull,

my heart rises and falls with your nearness or your silence.

The veena hums even though I lack the skill,

like a pearl that shines far beneath, never fading, never mine.

I’m still searching for a place inside me untouched by you

but my heart has become your kingdom, where you reign as Queen.
