Refugee

Velvet sky in the horizon
Stars shining with all their might
The breeze ushers in the dawn
Memories a bright….

Everyday, once, lathed in your brilliance
Only you could say nothing yet mean thousand things without blinking
You stood there with all your grace
Erupting in smiles as I drew near

the little curls of hair kissing your cheek
A smile that could even make an angel shiver with glee
Make her awe in the brilliance of one amazing sight
Those eyes of a just born, innocence to the core

The frequency of the noise of your giggle touched me
Deeper still it went, made a niche in my soul.
The way you walked made me fumble for words
God! that’s the way the fountain of beauty flows.

The touch of your skin so smooth
Nothing defines its rich texture
You taste like fresh honey, a hundred mint leaves in a cup of tea
When it is bright and sunny

You were the aftermath of a divine mistake
Aphrodite wanted rebirth, you were born instead.
Time has no worth, for you are eternal
To guard and fight for you, I shall.

My mind is in overdrive, pulses racing,
Invincible yet powerless, I feel,
When you lay your eyes upon me,
But for you, alas I am only,
A prisoner of war, A refugee!
