A Serious Flirt

My heart, 
lost it was, 
in a maze 
of unspoken words;
or an earnest gaze
through a fog, of 
silence
So dense, 
much like this pretense — 
desperate, 
to hide my inane longing ,
for a fleeting glimpse 
of the glow, 
in your eyes.

Never did you know
how many times, your footsteps
made my heart dance
in ecstasy and in pain,
in a madness, never so sane.

How I wonder, 
how, I’ve become
a naked soul,
like an autumn tree,
shed all my colors,
and all that’s mine,
now, is a snow of hope,
an endless wait
I can’t, but cope.

This moment, I can feel,
when I find my new self,
standing here, 
acknowledged, 
how eternal a moment is,
how magical 
life can be,
and how meaningful
is, all this 
joy and merry !
