The Soul of Your Song: "You Are My Everything"

You are the rhythm, the beat in my chest,

In the chaos of life, you’re my only rest.

With you by my side, every moment feels bright,

Without you, my world loses all of its light.

You’re not just a want, you’re the air that I need,

The most precious flower grown from love’s seed.


It isn't hate, for I could never let go,

Life without you is a path I don’t want to know.

When I look at your face, my heart starts to chime,

A whisper that says, "You’re mine for all time."


Before I met you, I was lost in the gray,

Just drifting along, through a colorless day.

But you taught me what "love" was meant to be,

A journey of two, a world made for "we."

Now the sun rises high with a promise so new,

Every morning is magic, because it starts with you.


I wait for your shadow, I count every breath,

A devotion so deep, it could challenge even death.

Like a night with no moon, or a song with no theme,

My life is a ghost without you in my dream.


Your name is the echo in every sigh,

The star that I follow in my dark, lonely sky.

Incomplete and hollow, I’d be just a stone,

But you are the peace that I finally call home.

Fire Snow

Some say that love is born of fire, A frantic flame that feeds on breath, To satisfy a wild desire And lead a soul to golden death. I’ve tasted such a burning brand, It seared within my heart and mind; A drought upon a summer land That left a bitter dust behind. But I have known a different cold— Not like the hate that freezes deep, But like the hemlock, dark and old, Where winter crows their vigils keep. For when the fire begins to wane And leaves me heavy with my rue, A dust of snow, like falling rain, Descends to make the spirit new. A sudden brush against the sleeve, A quiet word, a cooling touch; Small graces help the heart believe That passion does not owe us much. For love is neither ice nor flame, But how the white drifts drench the red; It gives the day a gentler name And saves the path that we must tread. -Jairam Kshirasagar
