Without Asking Why

Suddenly she felt idyllic amid tug of passion
Like answering the call of a blissful elation
As if her jubilant journey had just begun
Upon arrival of ebullient morning sun,

It wasn’t the dawning of distant horizon
Reflecting golden vistas splendidly lightened,
Not even the bashful blush of parting moon
Promising quite demurely to visit her soon,

It must have been his arrival that caused
Awkward turbulence of heart as she paused
When he stole her eyes with a captive smile
Arousing festive thoughts hidden for a while,

Having forgotten to adorn her prudent style
As he moved swiftly claiming life's worthwhile
She clumsily displayed with fervent desire
Welcoming visions that genuinely inspire,

Reveling burst of ardor she was aflame
When sound of his heart echoed her name,
And though she heard the cry of his tepid sigh
She embraced him intently without asking why.

"without asking why" The best feeling ever. Sometimes, no words are needed, as the heart just knows. This is beautiful and tender. Congratulations Vijay, on this win. ~ Brandy
