Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek

That we used to play

Long ago, in your backyard

Making our way through

Those plants of berries

Away from the crowd

From family, from everyone

Just you and me

Playing, hide and seek

Oh Dear! How easy was it

To catch you, to see you

Even behind those berry plants

Because my heart was always filled

With the smell

Of your jasmine body

Because we breathed same air

Dipped in love

That came from heaven, blessed by angels

Because our heartbeat

Sang same song

Even in midst

Of all the chaos around

And I knew

Where you hiding,

I used to find you, always

However hard you tried, to hide

What fun it was, and

You wondered, how could I

Did I cheat?

Did I keep my eyes open?

You used to ask

Showing a sweet frustation, smiling

I used to let you

Tighten your scarf on my eyes

And the play continued.
