We Were Supposed To Meet Today - David L. Hmar

We were

Supposed 

To meet today

Get up close

And personal

Chat over

A double scoop

Of ice cream

And relive

The past week

With relish

And seal it

With a kiss

(Or two…)

We were 

Supposed 

To walk today 

So I could 

Propose 

My undying 

Desire
For you 

And then brush 

Past your hand 

And delicately 

Only touch you 

Because 

Anything else 

Would 

Land us both 

In a deep deep soup… 

We were 

Supposed 

To hear 

Our hearts 

Beat 

In the 

Silence 

Today, 

Look 

And stare 

At each 

Other 

Make love 

With our 

Eyes

But

When I awoke today

To tell you I love you,

I found

You were

Nowhere to

Be found

And everything

Including

The dream

Came crumbling

Down…

David L. Hmar is presently based in Kolkota, pursuing his studies, and dreams of "winning the Booker and Nobel Prize for the Mizos, and counts Hemingway as his chief inspiration as the 'the writer who made me want to live a writer's life even it meant being poor.' The aspiring author writes because he has lived these moments and wishes that others too, in reading his works, would experience the zest for life and love."
