I was alone for ages
Seeking the shore.
Your eyes kindled in me
The light of love.
There was no colour
No tone, no rhythm.
Your eyes gave me
A song to sing
My life was at best
A bare outline
Your eyes adorned it
With colours bright.
I was unaware of
The sweet words of love
Your eyes made me
A poet in a moment.
My river of life
Was lying all dreary
Your eyes filled it
With sweet nectar.
What lay before me
Was a vast expanse of sand
Your eyes turned it
Into oases here and there.
