First Love
FIRST LOVE
Our glances adored each other
as we chanced to meet.
First love at first sight just in teen.
He never spoke to me.
I got no opportunity to interact.
On my study leave of six months,
I watched him from far balcony.
We wandered in the park keeping distance.
Neither he nor I opened mouth.
Yet our silent world was romantic.
Seed of love was sowed and sprouted in mind.
Hard root pierced heart in pain and pleasure.
Stem of emotion spread pair of passionate leaves.
On last eve of my departure
I was forlorn to loiter in the park on dusty dusk
He was alone to walk on side-road.
On sudden boost with thrashing momentum
he rushed and stood close to me.
I was not shy but looked direct at his eyes
with ardent ardor and intense expectation.
He could not utter a single syllable.
