Nature bloomed with her finest attire ,
The trees ,flowers birds and bees
Danced to embellish her desire
For this was a day when spring
Was to rise for a lonely heart
Lost amidst his youthful art.
Nature was the graceful and serene ,
But feminine was her elegance and subtle charm
I remember the day ..- i know not –
For the beauty that I beheld or
The grace that she bestowed .
Midday an hour of lethargy n gloom,
Got knocked into excitement and lively bloom,
As her grace swayed into the greens ,
Followed by her siblings and my friend indeed.
A thread of recognition and understanding ,
Bound the lass to my sis
As we muddleheaded youth played the animal ,
Teasing and jeering,mauling and joking.
An hour passed and by then
Tears welled up in the wounded lass
Was she the victim of another’s ignorance
Or were the words true
But against her beliefs
However lunch was served to be had as a family ,
The reunion cheered and spared the tears
For a smile cracked between those delicate lips.
I felt hurt ,for here was the guilty who
Turned the pink and the blooming
Into a dark rosy shade.
Grief forced out pearl drops of tears ,
To lighten and smudge the darkness of her cheeks.
And now her smile sparked
A lightning of joy within ,
For I felt forgiven and given a chance
To prove that I had a heart
A heart warm and pure,besides
The animal that raged a while ago.
Time passed on till she was’bout to depart
All the while we stayed indifferent domains
With neither straying into the others’.
She was alone in the garden with
only a butterfly as a companion.
I took my chance....
I plucked the nearest rose
Scratching a finger on its thorns ,but I cared not
For the bleeding of my hand as for that of my heart.
I sat beside her , stared deep into her eyes
And took her delicate pink fingers into my coarse hands
Placed the rose into her palm ,closing gradually her fingers oer them
I pressed my palms against hers
for a moment of silent communion ...
I knew she had heard ...
.... my thought ‘n my feelings
For she blushed her cheeks to redness !
I smiled at the warmth of the moment
And eyelids closed down on the eyes..
To harbor that moment at every breath ...
