Almost There

Today,

I took a rainbow to reach your door.

I walked the colours,

Equal steps on a wet curvy road.

Travelling through shades,

I came down and knocked.

You answered with a sunrise.

The rains last night

Looked so fresh, still in your room.

Your face, warm and pink,

Welcomed a shivering me.

Yesterday, I had dug a tunnel

To our pasts

And to a few unopened boxes.

I read the letters we wrote to our previous lovers.

And the ones we did not write to each other.

I know

We will discuss them today

And there will be clouds.

But it will rain, again.

For it is only a rainbow that will take me back home.

Any monochrome, otherwise,

Is always too dull for you.

Dear,

Come see,

The birds you sent to call me,

Have built nests in my room.

They will stay.
