Kaori

By Debanjali

Her dreams glitter in my eyes,

her thoughts take up my mind-

she reminds me of serendipity,

of jasmines in a rainy night.

She's like a golden ray

of the calm, evening sun-

magical and surreal,

more pleasant than none.

Her presence feels like moonlight

pouring itself down,

while I’m walking barefoot-

alone, in the silent blue town.

She’s like the farthest star-

I know she'll never be mine,

still I keep gazing till dawn-

as the brightest, she catches my eye.
