Between Us

Between Us

At the extreme of a road lies

Change—A repelled opposite

Seeking trophies of time,

Worn out through invisible

Slits of the same ties

We once knew.

And when air pockets our waning

Initiative that grasps

The futile mending

Of our relation now; what lapsed

Between the scores of seconds,

We do not actually know.

May be,

The pendulum of every distance

Paces its obligatory turn,

Tracing paved paths in resonance and

Oblivion to the fluctuating size

Of the trench

Between.

Perhaps if fuelled with hope,

The vacuum within us

Would be bridged;

Instead of eternally wavering.

And if it were hope enough

That would see us through  

A lifetime together; shooting us

Into unmarked air bases

For the unknown to consume us

Only with unwarranted promises

As our only assurance; we

Invariably question:

If for accompaniment’s sake

We land on arbitrary footholds

Of which we’ll forsake

When the bell tolls;

Why else should we tangle the

Soon-to-be unraveled fates of meeting,

If it could be left a blank slate un-riddled

As what was and will be

Between us.
