Let Me Take You For a Walk

By Ishika Kachhwaha

Come around

I'll take you for a walk

Through thoughts and desires

In the lanes of moments.

As our feets move

Side by side

A parallel melody building up

On the ground,

I'll move my hand a little briskly

To tell your skin that I'm here around.

We'll walk along the pathway

Amdist the green isle

In the embrace of the mountain

Like the Sun and the Sky.

We will walk hand in hand

Warmth and cold mingling

Like the celestial moment

For which the world has been waiting.

We will visit the old village

a little in, little around

Over where the past lives

Burried in the ground.

The air could be eerie,

Medling with our minds

Rising up could be ghosts

Wearing pale clothes of time.

We will walk into the dense

into the depths of roots,

We will take all those gems,

With the future incarved clues.

And it could be a little grey

Away from our green walk,

But I'm sure when we find our way back,

We'll be richer than we thought.

And back on the pathway,

Maybe I'll let your hand free

There could be pretty trees

Clad with Pineapples and blueberries.

Yeah could be a bit hard

to carry them along

But I can imagine your gayish smile

When after gourmandising,

We'll dance to your favorite song.

And we'll walk along the pathway

Zig zag with our shoes,

A cat and a dog playing

For some idiotic poet's muse .

I might try to climb a tree

For I'm a lover of heights

And I know that you'll catch me

If I fall from the leapt of flight.

And if you want to sit under a canopy

I will sit by and hold you close,

Or you could rest your head against my knee

As you read out loud Majaz's prose.

Then we will walk again,

We'll find a stairway to heaven;

And if the sun feels too harsh

A race against the wind to Savour the moment?

It could be tiring, that run

But we'll have each other to lean on

And when the evening air sends chills,

We'll hold each other and keep warm.

We will walk

Sometime in silence,

When we reach the mountain top,

The world could see us

And we'll look at eachother,

The most beautiful abendrot.

The night would be dark,

But we won't be scared,

We'll lie there on the grass

Under the stars' stare

Pull your arm our for me?

For I'll rest my head

Our breaths in unison

And our fingers twisted.

And we will talk about the future,

What lies ahead beyond the stars,

And as far as our eyes could reach,

There would be our names in each other's​ hearts.

In the calm serenity of the stillness,

Against the racing time,

We'll steal a nap and at the break of dawn

With the sun we'll rise.

The leaves will sing,

With the whispers of the wind,

Reverberating the beatings of our victory song,

See how far would the walk take us,

We would have marked our castle

Started from just a door.

Then we will walk again,

Find another road,

For the walks and stories are endless as time,

And maybe we could write a poem at the end of each walk,

Against different backdrops

But they'll always rhyme.

So,

Let me take you for a walk?
