As twilight set in
Amidst the constant din
He searched the street
Eagerly desiring to meet
The love of his heart
In the crowded mart.
At every little sound,
Expectantly he turned around,
A glimmer of hope in his eyes
Under the still starry skies
Where winds softly whisper.
Finally he spotted her
In the lights dim
Her beauty beheld him
Her graceful poise
Her enchanting eyes
Flashed upon his inward eye
Images deep within that lie,
Visions that love arose
Time immemorial knows.
On the springs of a dream
She was a gliding stream
The sound of a lovely song
Her tresses flowing and long
Done without care or caution
Were the foam of an ocean.
Her face serene and calm
Her approach so warm
She was a pearl rare
A maiden lovely and fair
A dainty lily in the park
A lone star in the dark.
Soon she edged past
And reached him at last
Together their eyes bound
Unaware of the turmoil around.
In the moonlit daze,
Locked in her embrace
The world ceased to exist
Life seemed a distant mist.
