A Wish For Once

I wish, one day we wake up

Next to the one who has our hearts

And our chores bring smiles without reason

I wish, one day

Our melancholic days turn bright

While we quarrel over trifles 

And bad oranges

Kissing deep the minute next

I wish, houses give way to homes

And we lie down

Wrapping the blanket a tad tighter

While the floor gets messy with corn pops

I wish, we sit and sip

The tea brought in hours ago

Not complaining ever

And the warmth across the window

Reaches our bones

Refilling our cups with the same.

I wish, our silence

Sends ripples in the air

And we catch the love therein

Bottling them within us-

We caress the kitchen garden

That withered away:

We'd forgotten to water them all!

I wish, we sleep for hours together

And stuff mouthfuls of sugar candies

Before rushing to work

And the lunchboxes wait for us to

Remember them,

The oil relentlessly dripping from the sides.

I wish, the fairies for once,

Come down with their wands

That bear stars

And turn the pumpkins of monotony

To royal coaches

And lizards to coachmen;

I wish, every tree sheds happiness down

Letting every ephemeral tale

Of angels and fairy godmothers

Come true.
