Princess of Duchess

By Kunal Grover

What if I ever fall in love ?

Would I be your picture; the prince on his horse ?

Towards you the prince approaches

Would you be my one ‘Princess of Duchess’ ?

To descend, I jump off the horse

In a moment I landed on the soft grass

My deep blue eyes talking to you in your head

Whilst we talk in silence, the leaves of the trees shed

Not a single word I will utter

Until minutes pass by looking at one another

It takes us one car honk to come back to reality

If it were not that interruption we would gaze till eternity

Taking your hand, greeting you ‘Madamosaille’ I kiss on them

I can feel the magic in the air, my heart underwent enchantment

I give you a hand to sit on the horse

I take the leash and walk you through the garden’s concourse

Quietly walking you, plenty of time, we don’t need to rush

But when our eyes lay on each other, we both do blush

The sun is setting, time to us doesn’t bother

Crossing the forest and about time, the snow showers

At the pond we stop to feed the horse some water

I take off my coat put it on you, now that I have found you the chill in the air doesn’t matter

On our way about to cross the forest

I ignite the lantern, its past sunset

She doesn’t know whats waiting for her

As soon as the bushes we cross, a castle uncovers

I take her down the horse, she has no idea what all this is about

On the porch there are violinists ready to play, I just have to command and shout

Once I do, I see the look on her face

So shocked, her face turns to a true beauty which all i wanted to gaze

With each step on the stairs proceeding

We both skip a heart beat, but we are still breathing

The doorman opens the gates made of glass

We enter the palace, there’s a ball ready, I say lets give each other a chance

We never know if this would or wouldn’t last,

But I hope after this ball, once again we do cross our paths

I hold her around her waist, she lay her hand on my shoulder

Forgetting all our insecurities, we dance blissfully under the crystal chandelier

We both know in our hearts, we are worthy for each other

To lord I wish after this ball, we really become one another’s

For when my alarm rings and I’m awake, I see the sunrise

I will wish that this dream one day becomes the reality of my life!
