Scent of a Stranger

A waft of breeze touched my face. A puff of scent filled

my senses. You brushed my hand, Gently, as you walked passed.

I turned. Tranced. Bewitched.

My eyes followed. I saw you over those busy shoulders.

Your blue shirt. The Khakee pants. I Dazed!

I wondered. My heart wandered.

Will you care to spare a look at me? Am I benign enough to win your heart?

I wondered.

I didn’t care. I had felt your warmth. It was You! I Knew!

and so my heart wandered, I wondered!

What it would be to hold your hand and sit by the river,

to soak our feet with the cold water. to shed a few tears over your shoulders

to sleep a peaceful sleep in your arms.

I squandered.

All I know is that it is you! You are the One! You may

ignore, but I will keep

your scent, your warmth forever, in my soul.

Very nice use of words.
"All I know is that it is you! You are the One! You may
ignore, but I will keep
your scent, your warmth forever, in my soul."

shreya,
its life and you have captured its scent, warmth and hidden identity
don't forget its imagery after the blissful moments of creation
just pull on its shoulders and keep it warm inside you

carry on.....

wow, so much from a scent and slight touch...imagination can really explore love, sometimes when we are hesitant to do so.

nicely expressed.
