I still remember you dear!

I still remember the day I saw you,

Years passed but that face is vivid,

Still coloring my mind’s canvas,

As a gentle breeze you came to my life,

Encircled me with its  abysmal coolness,

But went past leaving no traces,

I still remember you dear  as ,

A spirit of the pure grace. 

I saw you among  enormous oil lamps,

Your face gleaming in its fade light,

You were lighting temple lamps and ,

Lighted  the fire of my heart too , 

Melting my body in love for you,

But your face hidden in the rush,

I tried hard to quest in the crowd,

The air was pure with Sopana geetham,

You stood there as another full moon,

I still remember you dear as ,

An angel  send by the god himself.

You were at my arms length,

But I couldn’t touch you,

In silence my sunken heart breathed ,

The distance between us , unbridged,

I watched you, fluttering   the curly eyelashes,

Swaying seeds of poignant romance in me,

Making my nights sunny dawns.

Within me I wished desperately beloved,

If you were  mine and only mine,

And I still remember you dear  as

A girl with unblemished purity.

Your sound wafted languidly in the air,

Sprinkling sweetness in to my ears,

You stood there in the velvety darkness,

As a statue of marble so elegant and gracious ,

Making vibes in my flesh and blood and,

Conquering me with  your inimitable beauty,

But you failed me again and vanished,

Leaving me to burn in pain of loss,

And still I remember you dear as,

A wildflower with tempting fragrance.

I traced your steps every where

Hoping you will turn back dear ,

But  drifted away  challenging me,

Making me hopeless and rejected,

Your curly mane moved unruly,

On your delicate face playfully,

I stretched my arms to stroke them,

But kept the urge tied  within me,

I longed for you within me  secretly,

And I still remember you dear  as ,

An inspiration to pull ahead.

Your smile is still alive in me dear,

Its gentleness I treasure still ,

And your grace I realized  beloved ,

Gleamed like the heavens far  above,

Every night your thoughts distured  me,

I could feel you touching me fervently,

Not with your hands but with emotion and,

Witnessed scattering of my  delightful dream,

Pinning me down with twinge but loved it,

And I still remember you dear as,

A treasure fate had denied me for ever!
