HERE IS A QUESTION....LINGERING IN EVERY MIND
WHAT IS IT LIKE EXPERIENCING LOVE
IS IT THE FEELING OF BEING KIND
IS IT A PSEUDO ATTRACTION
OR JUST A IMAGINATION
LONG AGO THERE WAS A MAN..WHO SET ON ADVENTURES
TO FIND THESE ANSWERS
HE WANDERED AROUND STREETS ,
TUMBLING OVER HIS DEEDS
HE WAS YOUNG , HE WAS STRONG
HE WAS EVERY GIRL'S DREAM SONG
HE HAD AN OVER IMPRESSIVE FACE
AN ENCHANTED BODY...NO ROOM FOR DISGRACE
THOUGH HE SUFFERED SCARCITY
HE BELIEVED IN CHARITY
BUT HE WAS SINGLE, HE WAS ALONE
HE HAD AN IDENTITY...UNKNOWN
HE HUNTED FOR SOMEONE
HE YEARNED FOR SOMEONE
HIS HEART WAS LIKE A DRY RIVER
WAITING FOR THE CLOUDS TO QUIVER
HE WAS IN EVERY GIRL'S DREAM
BUT WAS BUSY CHASING HIS OWN DREAM
THEN CAME THAT MAGICAL DAY
WHEN SOMEONE CROSSED HIS WAY
SHE LOOKED LIKE AN ANGEL, STRAIGHT FROM HIS DREAM
HER SKIN AS WHITE AS FRESH CREAM
HER HAIR DARK AS A MOONLESS NIGHT
HER DIVINE GLOW SPREADING LIGHT
HER EYES FILLED WITH TRANCE
HER FEET READY TO DANCE
SHE SMILED LIKE AN INNOCENT CHILD
WHICH PINCHED HIS HEART WITH PAIN...SWEET AND MILD
HE FROZE AT HER SIGHT
LIKE SHE EXTRACTED ALL HIS MIGHT
HIS MIND STARTED WONDERING
ON ONE QUESTION HE WAS PONDERING
"WAS SHE JUST MY IMAGINATION
OR IS SHE REALLY ONE OF GOD'S CREATION..?!"
FROM THAT DAY SINCE
HE YEARNED FOR HER GLIMPSE
SHE CONQUERED HIS DAYS
SHE CONQUERED HIS NIGHTS
HE SEARCHED HER IN DARK
HE SEARCHED HER IN LIGHT
THEN ONE DAY, HE FOUND HIS DREAM
FOR WHICH HE WOULD LAUGH .. HE WOULD SCREAM
HE INQUIRED HER PLACE
AND WAITED WITH SOLACE
HE WOULD STAND THERE WITH HIS HEART IN HAND
IGNORING THE HOT SUN AND PIERCING SAND
SHE WOULD EVERYDAY PASS HIM BY
LEAVING HIS HEART TO CRY
HE WAS ALSO READY TO MELT
TO MAKE HIS PRESENCE FELT
HE STOOD THERE FOR DAYS
HE STOOD HERE FOR NIGHTS
HE STARVED THERE,NOURISHING HIS EYES WITH HER BEAUTY,
AND STOOD THERE LIKE A SOLDIER ON DUTY,
BUT THE GAL NEVER KNEW ABOUT HIS EXISTENCE,
NEVER DID SHE NOTICE HIM STANDING BY HER FENCE,
ONE DAY THE BOY FELL ON HIS KNEES,
AND THEN ON HIS BACK.
HE LAY THERE LIKE AN EMPTY SACK.,
HIS EYES AS COLD AS ICE..
HIS FACE WRINKLED WITH SORROW..
FOR HE COULD NO MORE SEE TOMORROW...
HE WAS DEAD , BUT HIS SOUL HASN'T FLED,
IT WAS STILL STANDING THERE STARING AT HER DOOR,
THOUGH HE WAS PHYSICALLY NO MORE..!!
THE GIRL THEN SAW HIS BODY LYING
SHE RAN TO HIM AS IF SHE WAS FLYING..
SHE WAS COMING CLOSE ..
LIKE A BLOOMING ROSE...
SHE THEN TOUCHED HIS CHEEK..
THERE APPEARED A SMILE ON HIS FACE...SLEEK..!!
HIS SOUL WAS FLYING WITH HAPPINESS...
HE NOW FELT BEING AWAY FROM LONELINESS,
HIS SOUL WAS NOW RELAXED,
WITH HER ONE TOUCH ,ALL HIS WOUNDS WERE WAXED...!!!
SUCH IS THE POWER OF BEING IN LOVE...!!
IT CAN TAME A LION UNTIED..
IT CAN TAME A SPIRIT UNSATISFIED...!!
LUCKY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LOVED ...
BEFORE THEY ARE....SHOVED....!!!!
