OF WHAT I THOUGHT TO BE LOVE

I came chasing wild moments,

thinking that it was love outpouring from your heart.

But I was mistaken,

Years and years of sweet words

Beauty of pensive moments

Seems to be a loss today.

Do you regret meeting me?

Someday in the wilderness of the autumn

Rusty and high,

Of the tales of howling winds

Shaking the window sills

That was the warmth of a night,

Coloured by the beauty of the stars.

The moon singing me a lullaby

And the clouds hovering high.

My eyelids seemed to droop

Yet I thought,

Let me live this moment

May be I was fearful,

Of losing you to the beauty of a dawn

To begin your life

With another

It was like losing

a part of my own

Yet I thought that was the beauty of togetherness

Yes, a lone maiden waited for the love of her life.

Her hair hanging down from the balcony

Strands and strands of hair let loose,

With every thread wrapped around blossoms of jasmines

Waiting to be kissed

Waiting to be kissed!
