Where are you then?

When the darkness falls,
When the silence prevails,
When the air freezes,
when the stir stops,
When the cricket chirps,
when the life sleeps,
when the bed warms,
when the limbs break,
When the nerves ache,
When the sense fails,
When the eyelids droop,
When the eyeballs squeeze,
when the eyes close,
WHERE ARE YOU THEN?

Picked this poetry online from Qaisar Janjua... @Thx Qaisar!

Blowing Hot & Cold

He was supposed to go out of town. I got a call from a female customer for him. She wanted him to join her for some event in Mumbai. As I was beginning to feel the pangs of jealousy, I got another call from another female customer who again wanted him to visit their site for some other event. I went on the look out for him even though I knew he must have left for the airport by now. But somehow, he hadn't gone. He was sleeping, perhaps taking a nap. I was concerned. I went up to him and touched his hand to feel for a fever if there was any. He woke up as I asked, 'Are you alright?' 'Ya was feeling tired. I guess its time to leave.' But he wouldnt go. Or he would go and come back. He delayed his going away for quite some time. And finally when he couldnt have delayed it any more, he left. I woke up then...

P.S. I think these days my dreams are all filled with him... Not just my dreams, my every waking hour. Its bad.. My insecurities have led to the jealousy factor of the dream, the sweetness in his eye to his staying back long after I thought all was gone and this blowing hot and cold that is going on has resulted in this ending to the dream. I am in a soup!
