I try to put a face
To the image in my mind,
I try to figure a person
Behind the voice I listen.
Who are you?
Are your eyes
Deep blue, like the sea….
Or black like the moonless night?
Is your smile wistful….
Or mischievous
When you think of me?
Is your hand rough….
Or will I turn jelly
As they touch me?
Do you like …..
To dance in the rain……
Or run for cover, when they do?
Are you a dreamer…….
Or a cynic
Do you still have the child in you?
Looking life with wonder and joy
Or too practical and grown-up…
Even to wonder?
Are you moved by
The beauty of nature…………
Or are you removed from it?
Do you like it when
Wind ruffles your hair………..
Or are you ruffled by it?
Do your break into
A song of the season……
Or dance without a reason?
You are the thirst
I wanna quench;
You are the book
I wanna read;
You are an adventure
I wanna explore;
You are person whom
I wanna know to the core.
Will you ever reveal yourself
Or will you choose to remain an enigma to me?
I like this poem, the words are fun and playful, yet meaningful.

ReplyDeleteEnigmatic lines ….
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess once the unknown becomes known, once curiosity is quenched, the thrill of suspense becomes cold :P
There are things that need to be let alone to be relished perpetually na?
Fun write! Waiting for The One can be its own kind of torture.
