A Knot Of Beauty Poem by Stephen Paul

Fingers were crossed when,
I saw her for the first time...
Utter smile was on my face,
And the lips gave a smile in a rhyme...

Together was our journey started,
And together was it promised to end...
Cute cheeks she had and rosy lips,
Which made my underage in a lovely way get spent...

As time passed and we grew young,
Love for her started to build up in me...
But was very much scared to tell her,
As I wanted her to live her life free...

Passed did the years,
And the distance between us became vast...
She too loved me I know,
But were afraid that how long would that last...

Every night I used to dream about her,
Her face was seen in every star...
Love for her in me grew more,
As it saw no distance though I was so much far...

Waited for her to become mine,
As she wanted the same...
Idiot for her was I,
And the life started playing a lovely game...

Life whispered to me an apology,
Said she can never be mine...
As she is not the star,
That for me used to shine...

Old I grew,
She was in no touch...
My life started becoming a mess,
As I loved her too much...

A simple hope now stays alive in me,
That will surely meet her after my breath goes apart...
Her beauty shall always stay,
Stay always beneath my heart...
