Nocturnal Heartbeat Cycle- Nithyashree V

Every night, when you light the candle,

Oh! My love, how do I handle it?

A strike of lightening we hear,

"Ouch!Honey!", arrives my fear.

"Hey! Chill!", you utter.

You hold my hand;

It feels like the blissful boon by a magic wand.

"Good Night!", you whisper.

We fight.

We cry.

We lie.

We kiss.

We miss.

"Good Night!", you whisper.

The river we drift,

Those surprises you gift,

And your arms that carry me,

Oh! Don't you dare set me free!

We chase mice.

We play dice, feeding each other a bowl of rice;

You arrest my eyes.

"Good Night!", you whisper.

Different doors down,

Towards random rough roads,

On a plenty of parallel planets,

Where it's just you and me.

Oh! That's my love, you see.

"Tring!Tring!", chirped my alarm,

Roaring aloud in the solitaire farm around.

"Hi!", say I. "The guy you love is no longer himself."

"Yes, the beautiful vampire sucked him", the mirror nods.

"So, whom do I love now?", ask I.

"It's his previous version before he abandoned his heart to the vampire...",

"...And transformed himself into another vampire", squeals the mirror.

Oh! Yes! He is like the splendid shining star dancing on my shoulder!

My heart's tyres puncture,

Making me shiver,

Until it overcomes the tremor;

Until, "Good Night!", you whisper.
