In the dim soothing ambience
Of the restaurant, you sat
Across fervently studying
The catalog of my eyes,
Searching for that glint
Of emotion called ‘love’…
As I sipped the tempting soup
Satisfied with objective pleasure
Descending down my throat,
You invaded the primordial mounds
Of long buried emotions
In the sorrowing pyramid of my heart
Like an obsessed explorer
Opened the sarcophagus
And breathed life into the
Mortal remains of mummified ardor
I noticed the haze dissolving,
And felt my innards stir.
You ceremoniously took me
Into the white marbled edifice
Exclusively built in your heart
The penumbra inside me
Merged with the extensive shadow
Of the everlasting monument of love…!
