‘This Distance’
How
those eyes yearn!
Just
to catch a glimpse
Even
if it’s for a fleeting moment
It’d
mean so much to her.
Through the dusk and through the dawn
She thinks of the words she’d say
But when he appears in front her,
The words that are her world
Seem to abandon her.
What
is she to do?
Lifting
her pen,
She
decides to tell him once and for all
The
anguish only he’s responsible for.
The wistfulness of his smile
The tenderness in his voice
Makes her blush
The deep blush of first love…
A
part of her wants to say it out loud
But
she’s afraid
To
bridge this distance between them;
As
it’s this distance that breathes life into her dreams.
Perhaps to him, she’s just someone
Someone
who shall fade away
In the ravages of time
But to her, he’ll always be a poem…
Shrouded
in an unsolvable mystery,
An
unfathomable depth in his eyes,
She
tries to decipher whenever they meet
Even
if it’s for a fleeting moment.

PS: Sorry it's been so much time since I posted anything on the blog. With valentine's day just round the corner, I decided to write a short poem on the dilemma we often experience about confessing our feelings to someone. I hope you all find it relatable.
