Fleeting Moment
Sitting there, warming my cold feet
In
the slanting rays of the
That visits my secluded balcony,
I suddenly see a motion picture-
Of your Eyes…
Gazed had I into them many a times
While we had discussed & laughed
Chatted and joked endlessly,
And yet then, had I never drowned
In their depths as I did today by myself
Oft, they reflected the tenderness
You felt at that very moment,
Frequently calm, with a motionless depth
In their beautiful grey-greenness, as
You embroiled yourself in my pain;
They twinkled with your wry humour
Instantly lighting your entire face,
Never danced, but softly hummed,
So friendly, tender, joyous, but too
Pained at my every emotional turn
But for a frozen instant in time that
I have long denied to hail as witnessed,
Telling myself it is but a figment alone,
But for sure…they had looked shaken
As if suddenly confronted with the unknown
In that fleeting moment unmoving in time,
As you wiped the rainbow from your face,
I saw them blanch, as if a new found thrill
Filled and shook you, as never ever before,
Till the veil came down, and it was lost once more…
