Romantic
That evening, so romantic
along with you by the seashore
as I sat watching the dreamy sunset...
when the sky blushed in pink,
relishing his kiss -
the sun's parting kiss for the day:
so sweet, but quick..
her cheeks were glowing:
the sky - a blend of red and orange
and almost flushing red now
as her beloved orb golden
takes leave for his short silent stroll
into the lonely dusk
to leave her be lost in a reverie
for the rest of the night
with a promise to be back
to illuminate her somber soul
with his effulgent gaze
the next dawn
I remember those enchanting eyes...
that spoke a lot...
when a soft sea breeze gently whispered
tales of love into our ears...
on that glorious evening...
I still remember...
those eloquent eyes of yours...
yearning to be merged with those of mine
your voice was muted
you were silent as always
but... those fetching pair of eyes...
they expressed more
than your voice would ever have
In a distant land now...
engrossed in duties
to trudge through the daily grind
do you still remember that beauteous evening
as we sat beside each other
losing ourselves
in the mesmeric charm of the sunset
feeling the throb of silence
when my eyes happened to
read between the lines
of an incomplete romantic tale
of the memoirs of your soul's diary...
as they met...
your entrancing eloquent gaze...
