The ProposalA Story by Jyoti_AblazeThe
Proposal
The
first time I saw you, You
were waiting for someone Fidgeting
your scarf, hair undone Tapping
the foot, really restless Who
was bringing that out of you? I
wanted to know then. A
strong wind blew and took my breath away When
your dazzling hair, parted from your face, The
dove like eyes, filled me with awe And
the rose petal lips, that drew in the air Added
to the mesmerizing scene, unfolding there You
clutched your scarf to hold it with you Then
tucked your bangs, sighing anew You
kept looking at the watch for who knows what But
each time you did that, my heart skipped a bit For
the inevitable fear that you will fade away with it Just
when the anxiety was about to swallow you whole, The
clouds gathered up in the sky and started to pour I
don’t know even now, what it was that day That
was bringing that out of you, letting you sway Because
it lost its significance, when I saw what happened next For
me, monsoon was just another season back then But
when it drenched you, it became magical at once The
little droplets made you shimmer in the light And
I saw a charming goddess standing with might Some
spell had bound me there, holding me in trance of purest sight Your
furrowed brows smoothed back slowly Taking
the frown and anxiety with it, briskly Lips
twitching and eyes sparkling You
transformed into a giddy child Who
would love to dance in the rain and see the rainbow in the sky That
was the moment, I remember now When
I decided to know you, anyhow You
captured and reined my heart from then on What
I would have done in my life, if we haven’t met Nothing
in the world could have instigated the wonders of fate Twenty
seven monsoons have passed since that day I
can still glimpse the child in you, happy and gay Time
and age has altered almost nothing in you Your
elegance and charm still ruffle the hues I
have gratefully lived these years under your warmth and grace. All
I wish is your soothing presence during my last breathe For
you are the salvation my soul will always seek So
today I dare to ask you a question of life and death After
being my only interest everyday and year on year Will
you walk down the aisle to be my wife, yet again?
