Mystique Love
she sat lonely
on the beach
in the submissive darkness
the moonlight
highlighting the red eyes
& the dark shadows beneath them
she looked so beautiful
as the golden strands of her hair
blew in the zephyr
her lips quivered
as if complaining
& then they curved
in a dazzle
brightening the
chiseled features
on the pale, white face
But the smile ruined
as a cruel wave crashed
into the reverie
reverie of
the waters,
the stars,
only that she wasn’t alone…
In an aching hope,
she stood up
& started calling out her love
no response.
she called louder
still no response.
she started walking down
in the dark waters
Beckoning her love
she went deeper & deeper
in the sea of love
now her words…
a whisper
still deeper, she went
And then, still & silence
the next night witnessed
a miraculous presence
a pair of stars shone brightly
at a rare corner,
blinking inexorably
under the grey canopy
of the sky
she had reached her destiny,
& the destiny of mystique love…
