K: So you think I'm just going to barge in
And smear your lipstick? I have better things to do you know!
You said you could wait,
But this 5 minute time frame that I've spent staring
Into your eyes says otherwise.
S: Yeah, let the romance build pace.
You think you'll make me impatient?
I think its time to teach you perseverance.
K: Teach me perseverance? How?
With your impatience?
You know you rely on words too much.
S: You think words don't suffice?
It's because actions and glances and gestures haven't been enough till today.
Which is why the recourse to words.
And I'll pen an eternity in this billet doux
K: Haha eternity is a long long time ma'am.
Trust me, these words wouldn't suffice.
And if you think they can, well, we shall see.
S: The war of words began, they wrote down
The deepest of their affections on that piece of paper.
Affections that awoke, evoked with a new vigor
As the sheet of paper rustled.
He tugs at the paper as she hands it to him.
She doesn't quite let go of it,
unsure if she's handing over the right feelings.
K: The room descended into sheer darkness
As he got hold of the piece of emotion she held so dear.
Even though he was unsure about where he was looking,
He recognized the depth. The depth of her never ending eyes.
S: The incessant, now faster dripping of water from the tap in the kitchen,
Seemed to give vent to vivid sketches of our romance.
You tossed the pen away thinking the ink dried up.
The pen gave up, for my feelings had just welled up,
Now seen as mere invisible traces on paper.
K: The traces you define as invisible,
I'm not oblivious to them you know.
Invisible they were meant to be,
The pen did not stop writing without a reason you know.
S: The candles blew out as the sparks anew flew.
He wrote, she heard and responded.
It was dawn now, but their night had only begun,
with the crescent moon and the hazy stars nodding approval,
As they regretted not staying on to witness this cosmic consummation.
K: As she regretted the cosmos not being able to witness this consummation,
He smiled with contempt for the candle light they shared till the morning sun came up.
He smiled because he knew the universe had played it's cards
For it's omnipresence was what had conspired this consummation in the first place.
