To You, With Love
Dear Someone
Its a hot day today. It’s funny that I would begin my letter to you in this manner, but really, the heat’s all I can think of these days. How’s it there? Not too warm I hope.
I have been meaning to write this letter for so long, but didn’t really know what to write. But I’m quite enjoying it, contrary to what I had imagined. Don’t you just love writing letters? So much power in your hands. I love words. To describe exactly what I feel at the exact moment that I feel it. Makes you feel good and Godly, doesn’t it?
I love seeing these whites of the paper disappear behind the nib of my pen. It’s like making love to these blank pages. The world disappears and the only thing I can see are the sparks from the tip of my pen. From the friction between the pen and paper. They become embers and glow. Beautiful, I tell you.
Tell me how have you been? How have you been all your life? One of these days, I want to make a sketch of yours. To hang in my bedroom. But you know when I close my eyes, to imagine you, I dont see eyes, ears, nose or lips. I see a black earthen pot, full of cold water, with a reflection of the stark white moon.
Cold black water with moondrops. Yes I think that’s you… So you…
I think I will sketch that. But wait…! I forgot that I burnt my sketchbook and all the portraits with it. Shucks. Tell me how have you been anyway.
Last night when I idled in bed, I wondered about you. Tell me do you boast of your conquests? Do you gossip with your friends about the girls you have been with? Do you keep a tally bar by your bed?
Tell me how many times did you think of me last night? Or did you think of me at all? Tell me how many times you wanted me in all the nights of your life put together. Or have you lost count? I have been thinking about you, you know.
Just wondering actually.
Restless and Sleepless

wow! liked it.
anirudh, my poor guess: there is no someone.
its like the painting “I want you!”, the painting of a man pointing index finger.
Everyone watching the painting feels like the
finger is pointed at him.
great job.
