A Leap of Affection

Pay attention now! Silence for just a moment
shut your eyes, do your ears feel the
water dripping wet in the distance
March towards the sound
don't look around just 
look ahead
Wait! what's that. 
Shut your eyes pay attention again
It sounds like water speeding up hard
and fast while striking some kind
of aim
Open your eyes, do you see something
Keep walking eyes pealed not
understanding what you are about to come
face to face with
Look around what do you see
Just smiling with what is in
front of you!
All you want to do is grin for
what magnificence that lies in front of you
brings chills directly down your
spine
The thrilling water fall makes you
a leap of affection

WHoa! Beautifully written Nikhil! I love how you've built up the suspense -nice. And equating affection to a waterfall- clever imagery. It reflects well the amount of trust needed when it comes to emotions. Well done!
