Nidhi Dev

Our eyes met often, but our hearts never did,
I have auctioned my heart and hope you'll buy it in this life's bid...
You searched different paths, but knew not the one to mine,
How could you imagine you would have to pay a late-buy fine?
...

Does your heart dance, looking into my dancing eyes?
Do your lips tremble, listening to my tear-stained cries?
Does your being want to hold me close as I do?
Will you be eternally mine, as I have already sworn to?
...

Running wildly about in the house,
I happened to stop by the window,
My eyes filled with that enchanting show,
A multicoloured rainbow!
...

O! Do you remember the starless night?
When the moon was the only real, but strange thing,
I used to lie awake even after the moon would set,
and my sparkling eyes would capture a golden ring.
...

Whiskers small,
as was his body,
A cub, After all,
Colour yellow, nothing too bright or too gaudy...
...

I could not but observe them all
in jocund or in pensive mood,
The trees of today with stunted growth,
Lack in 'bark' but have a lot of 'wood'...
...

I watched it grow in my garden,
a tall plant from a minute seed,
multi-coloured flowers t'has blossomed,
unearthly, seated among overgrown weed.
...

I saw them running ahead of me,
But I could not overtake them,
they jeered at me from a distance,
But I could not ignore them...
...

A mundane afternoon, all asleep,
though not my imagination, sure,
the sun up, above all heads,
the golden light, as bright, as pure...
...
