A perfect Stranger
I sat on the grass
Savouring the beauty that laid far ahead of me
I watched in awesome wonder
As the faint evening sun casts its soft rays
On the crystalline mountain
I sat there watching them:
Men and Ladies
Having their fair share of the beautiful evening
There was laughter, happiness and joy in the air
Yet, i sat there, lonely
Wishing i too like the other men had someone
I could cling to and savour the evening with
Wishing i could be there in their world.
Far gone into the reverie,
I was pleasantly jolted back by a sight ahead of me
Sitting directly under the crystalline mountain
And the sun casting its soft rays on her
Was the most beautiful woman i have ever set my eyes on
From afar, she seemed a queen waiting for her king
Her hair fell on her shoulder
Giving the picture of a waterfall
Her eyes…as she blinked them formed the picture of a rising firecracker.
For some moment
I was lost in the thought and vision of her tremendous beauty
I pinched myself, rose and wandered to her side
How easy it was to talk to her.
Her voice! Oh! That voice that sounded like the song of a bird
Got me hypnotized
I needed to hear how she laughs
Therefore, i made her laugh
God! It was like the melody of a pleasant music
That only angels can sing.
The glee in her eyes when she smiles/laughs
The movement of her hands when she talks
And her mesmerizing eyes will not stop tormenting me
Ah! I felt i have known her all my life
But she is a stranger!
Then He came
And respectfully led her away being his woman.
But her eyes won’t leave mine
As she went with him.
Of course she was my queen, and i her king
In the kingdom we created while we were together
Still seated on the grass
I heard myself say: she is mine
But where is she?
Gone!
Gone with the wind!


Sane!
