Fantasy

Must read

Maya Thapa

I wish for nothing 
but your company 
to have a cup of tea
every morning 
looking at dust specs
dancing in sunrays
 streaming through the window edge!

I have cups, varieties of tea
nice set of utensils 
luring on the table, 
two cups—
one full 
other empty. 
The chair at the other end
empty!! 
We’re rich; we have everything 
only that we have no TIME!

I wish for nothing
but an hour’s time
to walk with you
down the woods
up the sea 
fingers of your right hand
intertwined with those on my left one.  

You have hours 
I have hours too;
yes ! the boring hours !
There is  a sea, calling
there are woods, welcoming,
I’m complete; you are in my heart 
only that we have no TIME!

I wish for nothing
but weekend eves
with friends of mine
in spontaneous  laughter
with favorite drinks of our choices
chat, overlooking the clock!

I have friends 
across the sea 
and miles away;
we plan
for years and years now
and promise to be
together one day.
I’m rich; I have friends in heart,
bottles of nice wine 
and free weekends. 
We just lack the right TIME
with right people 
in the right place!
