Looking At You

By Anisha

Your eyes are flowers of ice and snow,

They're cooler than snowflakes

And more beautiful than the rainbow.

They're immensely cool and calming,

Yet they have a fire in them

That lights up your ever-glowing face

With the light of the passion

that is the core of your being.

Your smile is prettier than daisies and lilies,

Lovelier than a baby's smile.

A smile of yours can work miracles,

It can brighten up my darkened mind,

And fill it with the sunshine of joy.

Your curly hair are the chains

Anyone would love to be chained in.

The way they dangle on your

forehead and your lovely face,

reminds me of the pinkish blossoms

dangling from the thin branches

of a lovely green tree, which is

the cynosure of the garden.

Your voice is sweeter than honey,

It can heal the severest of wounds.

A word from your mouth

Can soothe aching hearts,

and give ultimate bliss to every soul.

Your naughtiness is the king of my heart,

However distraught I am,

It makes my heart smile and laugh,

And I can never disobey it,

Because as you say,

'Sakha ki iccha mere liye aadesh hai'.

And when the naughtiness in your smile

Asks me to laugh my heart out,

That's what I do.

The way you act, the way you dance,

reflects the meraki you put in all you do.

You're pure magic, you're a miracle,

And the magic that you are,

transcends physical boundaries

And reaches every soul,

Every heart, every mind

And illuminates them with

The pure light of love,

With the light of pure love.

I dream of you in my loveliest dreams,

where you're right there, in front of me.

You walk, you smile, you laugh, you speak,

And I just stand still, looking at you,

And this time, not on a screen,

Right in front of me, yes, there.

I hear my heart pounding and

my breaths racing against each other

in that breathtaking moment,

when I see you looking at me.

I feel at a loss of words,

Every word I say to you in my imaginations

Seems to fade away and vanish;

What remains is pure love.

The love you pour on me.

The love you pour on everyone like me.

The love I carry for you deep in my heart.

Love is what remains

While everything else fades away.

And I still stand there silently,

Just looking at you,

Saying nothing to you,

Just telling myself again,

How much I love you,

thanking the universe for making you

the beautiful medium through which

I could connect to it.

And I still stand there,

Looking at you.

Just looking at you.

Beholding the eternity you are,

And just looking at you.
