Where Love Breathes

Kamalika Bhattacharya

In Just a Glance of You

I seek no riches, no sky-wide dreams,

Just the sparkle in your eyes’ soft gleam.

A whisper from you, tender and true,

Melts away storms I never show you.

Your caring words, like velvet rain,

Soothe the corners of my aching pain.

When you call my name with gentle grace,

It’s as if the world slows down its pace.

I don’t ask for grand displays,

No golden vows or rose-filled days

Just hold me close, where silence sings,

Wrapped inside your sheltering wings.

A brush of your fingers, a smile so shy,

Gives me comfort no words can buy.

No more I need—no stars above

Only you, and your quiet love.

You—My Guiding Light

 

Morning doesn’t come,

Nor does noon,

Evening doesn’t arrive,

Night stays away— 

Only you appear.

The hues of my mind keep changing,

Days pass quietly—

Your scent, like musk,

Lingers in the air, touching my soul.

Just as a tree draws sap from the earth,

Breathes in oxygen from the air,

Soaks in strength from the sun,

And fills itself with green—

Creating the food of life—

So do I,

Nourish myself with the essence of your love.

But like the tree,

I do not live for myself alone.

Scattering particles of that love,

I will build a battalion of joy—

A life that radiates.

The circle of love will widen

Like ripples in motion,

And at the very center—

You, only you,

My guiding light.

Bound by your pull,

I remain—

Still, yet trembling

In a quiet whirl of longing.

Quantum Entangled

I am getting emotionally dependent on you 

a soft ache, a thread I didn’t mean to sew.

Your voice lives in the spaces between my thoughts,

a quiet warmth I never asked for, but now can’t let go.

Don’t love me so much — I’m folding inward,

melting into a shape that remembers only us.

This closeness is sweet, but dangerously slow 

like sleepwalking to the edge of a starless dusk.

Now we are quantum entangled 

your silence ripples through me like a tide.

Even if you’re galaxies away,

I move when you move,

I ache when you hide.

No distance, no logic, no clear divide 

you live in my atoms, I breathe in your sighs.

I never thought loneliness could be shared,

but here we are alone, together,

unmeasured, unprepared.

The nature's soul

Yes, the clouds may blind the noon,

And shadows swallow light too soon,

But nature hides in every hue

A secret song, a tender view.

The fault is not in skies so dim,

Nor in the twilight’s fleeting whim;

It’s in our eyes that cannot trace

The eternal grace in every face.

For beauty lives in leaf and stone,

In winds that speak in undertone

But only hearts both pure and wise

Can see such truths through honest eyes.

You have those eyes, my dearest one,

That see the stars when day is gone.

I found that beauty not in the rain,

Nor in the mist, nor clouded plain

But deep in you, my darling true,

Where nature’s soul is shining through.

I Will Never Let You Be Alone

I will never let you be alone.

Close your eyes....

just for a moment.

Now open them once again...

The light you see...

That’s me.

The breeze you feel

That gives you a gentle chill—

That too is me.

The birds on your balcony,

That’s my quiet agony.

They fly away in a glance,

Leaving me in silent trance.

But even then, in solitude’s tone

I will never let you be alone.

The little patch of sky you glimpse

Between the towering skyscrapers

That piece of blue holds me.

You may find me in the rustling leaves,

In the sway of every tree.

If you feel me in your chest,

If my name flickers in your sigh

Look beside you quietly,

You’ll find me sitting nearby.

In every shadow, every spark,

In midnight’s hush or morning’s lark,

I am the silence that never leaves,

I am the wind between your sleeves.

So when the world feels cold and gone

Know this,

I will never let you be alone.
