Stardust

Hey you!

I see you everyday;

In reality-

And in my dreams.

You are a naturalist,

And a part of my fantasy;

You are aesthetic-

And a reason for my ecstasy.

Day and night,

Dusk and dawn;

I dream of you-

And you are my Mute Swan.

But you never care,

Nor do you worry;

Have you some time to spare?

Ooops! I am sorry.

I am courageous,

But you make me a coward;

Watching you pass by everyday-

Makes me bewildered.

Once a while

You smile at me,

You throw me a "Hi"-

And I reply with glee.

Nature has its way,

God has his will;

Rainy eve and she was there

Sitting alone, feeling the chill.

I approached her,

She was startled;

Then she recognized-

And then she stumbled.

I caught her,

Held her in my arms;

She was half drenched-

And I was mesmerized by her charm.

We walked together,

Under my umbrella blue;

I kept my arm over her-

The sudden warmth acted as the glue.

That day,

Changed my life;

Though we are only friends-

But someday soon she'll be my wife.

But I could never tell her,

The magical three words;

Hey! I love you!

Oh you, who is made of stardust.
