I wish I could tell you how much I love you

When you walk towards me, my fatuous heart starts throbbing faster

When you hold my hand, the feel of softness gives me a drafty shiver

When I look into your eyes, wondering… I get lost into an unknown world

Where there’s just you and me… in a beautiful valley near a peaceful river…

When you whisper in my ears, a few… endless words of love and care

When you embrace me, saying nothing, but your eyes full of tear

When you rest your head on my chest, hearing my intensifying heart beat

It makes me love you more, furthermore- that moment and every time we meet.

When I caress your silky hair, as you read me an untold love story

When I hug you tight, as you shed your tears of despair and misery

When I hold your hand, the moment you’re weak and need the strength

It’s me letting you know, that I love you now… forever… till my last breath.

When I wake up early in the morning, take you to the meadow for a walk

When I give you a rose, every time you look distressed and distraught

And all the poor jokes which I tell you, in moments of angst and frustration

I want you to know- that you’re my love… and that you’re my passion

I wish I could bring you all the happiness in this world

I wish I could take you to every place you’ve ever dreamt of, my girl

I wish I had the right words to portray my feelings I have for you

I wish I could somehow, someday tell you… how much I love you…

Love and the Ocean

Every evening we’d walk to that secluded beach… holding each other's hands

We’d sit there for hours and talking about feelings, worries, love and beyond…

Admiring the vastness of the ocean and perplexed by its unknown depths…

The ocean, a lot similar to our love – was profound and boundless…

We had a special spot, marked by a heart shaped rock…

We had skillfully etched our names on it… making it symbolic…

Every evening we would watch the sunset and make a thousand promises…

Waves just reaching and feeling our feet- instilling peace and quiescence…

Many-a-couple would etch their names on the sand…

And the ocean would wash it away… sometime during the night…

But our heart shaped rock with our names… she wouldn’t harm it… ever…

As if, she wanted it to be there… as if she loved to see us together…

We both loved the sunset… and I loved watching her in tranquility and peace…

I loved to watch her hair flow, like the waves of the ocean, along with the breeze…

I loved her beautiful eyes looking beyond… and that serene smile on her face…

As it’d fill my heart with more and more love… and I would kiss her on her lips…

But a year later, things changed… we left each other… breaking our hearts…

I stopped walking to the beach… stayed back spending lonely evenings…

It had been months since we had last visited our favorite spot…

I wondered how that place looked like… and if our love-rock was still there…

So that day I decided to break-free from my room of loneliness…

And walked aloof to the beach… everything flashed back… our love and togetherness…

And when I reached there, that rock was missing… I looked for it everywhere…

Like the names of lovers on the sand… the ocean had finally, washed it away…

A Strange Encounter

Amidst the crowd you emerged like an angel…

Walked passed me with a smile… swirling your stranded hair…

The fragrance that could make a garden of daisies…

Spread across as you strolled ahead… against the mild breeze…

My silly heart went away with you in a moment…

Beating relentlessly… as if yearning for you…

I turned around to look at you… with a facile wish…

That you turn around and smile back… a moment I’d cherish…

Mesmerized and charmed by your flair and stupefying beauty…

My soul started walking for you… towards you…

Praying that you’d stop for me… and give me a little bit of time…

To come closer and walk by your side… with your hand holding mine…

And then you paused… turned around and saw me…

I knew not what to do… a terrible fear ran through me…

Your face had a surprised look… followed by a hint of anxiety…

Your eyes grew bigger with angst… and your lips holding the curiosity…

I stood stranded… in the middle of nowhere…

Gazing at a heavenly beauty… with my heart bleeding inside…

Wishing that you run towards me with open arms…

And crash into my chest and let our longing souls unite…

But then, someone from behind walked passed me…

And your lips now held an ensorceling simper…

And then you turned looking at him… and for a moment… at me…

Holding his hand so tight… you just walked away, faraway from me…
