Sunset

By Shruti D Warrier

Come about for a quick hello 

The sky is soon turning red to yellow

Fine grains of sand dispersed across her feet

With eyes of blue and smile that turned my heart to greet

As the years of yonder reverberate with seeds of doubt

Wishful thinking led to me finding her about 

Dampness in my hair asked me to call

So Someone could dry it and embrace it all

I wanted to run through grainy beaches of sand

Till I saw no one anymore except you on the land 

Bashful of the crunchy leaves resting

My faith in you nevertheless be testing
