I Will Never Forget

As the pulse of your loving heart beats in mine Scent of your charisma, graced by your beauty, Evokes jubilation of blossoming spring revelry Lilting elegantly within prairies of my memory. Summer of dreams still wears your happy smiles Surfing cerulean waters on cresting ocean tides Recalling aspirations of sand-castles you built Carved carefully on the beaches of my reveries. Music I hear strums tunes of dulcet melodies In evening that echoes cheers of verdant hills Being enchanted by the passions of our first kiss Applauding the symphony of romantic feelings. When it was time to part, we never said goodbyes As you departed with a gift of love appended, Cherishing our vows blushing-moon witnessed Promising a return, to build sand-castles again. But alas, I waited till your imprints faded away, Thoughts that now linger have not much to say Except how time changed everything we meant When our seasons greeted advent of new days. Yet, I dwell silently in glow of your gentle ways-- Precious bond you bestowed, I will never forget, Though winds of fervid dawn have since drifted I remember how gaily aurora of love brightened When spectrum of your aura gilded my horizon.
