The moment I saw your reflection
I knew we were up there
Taking the course of correction
The green velvet, beneath my foot,
I looked down, and saw yours beyond the moot
The time must have ticked away
In a different way
When the wind sway
And I felt your soft, warm fingers
Intertwining into mine
What breeze!
What cold, smooth, caressing, wind
Went past, ruffling your hair
That in turn, brushed my face with a soothing care
And the fragrance in the air
Or was it your soul
Secretly seeping its gold
That had a perfume of its own
From up the hill, the miniature town smiled at us
With a warm gesture of its tiny blinking lights
Like thousands of fireflies waltzing in the night
And when you were too engrossed
To be amazed at the beauty across
It finally sneaked out of sky
The first thing I noticed
The first thing I always wanted to notice
Since eternity, beyond time immemorial
Was to see its first light
Showering your face
In all its glory and bright
God, it’s still so intense
I can still see it all
As if that moment
That particular moment
Has been forever seized in my mind’s fortification
The yellow-orange light
With a tinge of milkyness
Of which galaxies are made
When they fell on your eyes
They glimmered
And turned into mirror
Where I first got to see
Your true spirit
And what I found
You ask?
Why, it was the same spirit
That channelled in the one above
That circular bliss
It got bigger and bigger, very slowly
As I said, time ticked differently
And so did the illumination on your face
I watched mesmerized
As it embraced your slender nose,
Those trembling lips,
And ultimately, the entire face
It was right above you now
Putting you in a natural spotlight
The world indeed had stopped
As I heard no sound anymore
Not even the fluttering of leaves
Or ruffling of grass
Or swaying of wind
It all went into a trance
Guess they might have seen you too
As your pupils shut down slowly
Two pearls from the corner
Rolled down those ever-innocent cheeks
And when you put your head
On my shoulder
I couldn’t resist
Looking up at the sky
And at that huge round gem
Never I had ever
Prayed for a thing
My entire life
But now I only asked for
This moment to stop
Till the time universe was alive
And good gracious
My prayers were heard of
You might not be here yet
I have got that moment within me
You might be at some corner of the world
My hope is going to strive and grow strong
With every year passed
Because I know if I saw it happened
It did happen
And no power
In this entire world
Can create a barricade
To that thought of mine
I will wait
I had waited
And I will be
Till I get to see you once
If not that
Heaven will have a place
Where I will get you to embrace
My soul
Just the way
I did yours
We shall meet
Under that enchanting ball of my spirit
No, our spirit
Sooner or later
I will wait
And we shall meet
