♦ The One ♦ (Another Love Poem, Haa!)

  

   
     You were the star
     fallen from heavenly sky
     stood before me
     As I get consumed 
     in your luminance.

     You were the dream
     Nurtured in my eyes
     for a hundred years
     Now came true in your shape.

     You were the voice
     a melody played in my mind
     when there was a lull
     before a storm that could
     do me no harm.
    
     You were the hunger
     that could never be satisfied
     A thirst, never be quenched
     left me craving for more.

     You were the promise
     never broken, lived forever
     like a golden thread
     bind our hearts into one.

     You were the puzzle
     scattered all over in pieces
     with endless clues and hints but
     Never complete without me.

     You were the drug
     that kept me alive
     As every breath faltered,
     In your arms, I slept
     safe and sound.

     You were the rain
     that drenched me with zeal
     to conquer the world,
     washed away my doubt.

     You were the truth
     that guided me through
     the charming lies,
     the unworldly expectations
     of this masquerade.

     You were the kiss
     that touched my soul,
     held me mesmerized
     from time immemorial.
