anupama rao

I still think of that day when,

All by myself walking by the brook , and

there you were sitting starring at the flowing waters

Perhaps thinking of me; or lost in your own world of imagination

Yes I can see you sitting there even now.

The green waters of the brook reflecting

the white cheeks and the rosy lips

locks of flying curly hairs of copper

you looked so calm and serene

A Greek goddess, yes like Venus

sitting there in great anticipation

of a miracle to happen,  yes then

there I came and stood starring at you

seeing my reflection in the green waters

you smiled at me not turning your head

perhaps you thought that you were dreaming;

but I smiled back at you, called your name softly

then realizing that it was real, startled you looked back

A wonderful smile seen no where else

You held my extended hand, eyes shyly cast down

I couldn’t help but feel amazed

at the long eyelashes so beautifully curved.

Felt like touching them softly….

There we stood there hand in hand

in our own paradise, Just so complete

contained in our own world of happiness.

Not a word uttered; a blissful silence-

only the flowing stream murmuring a love song
