Stolen by Rachana Hegde

I steal you again
for another night of hushed kisses
and pilfered moments in dusty gondolas
to walk in the cobblestoned streets
and revel in the intoxicating night air;

I steal you again
to dart across rain-soaked grass
and kiss underneath stars that shower us with light
to steal from the night market
and taste food from another world;

I steal you again
to be loved as your lover
and laugh recklessly as I pull you through empty rooms
to give away my heart without a second thought
as we kiss on moonlit balconies and fall asleep in each other’s arms.
