Addicted-Truly, Deeply, Madly Poem by Nithin Pradeep

To you, truly, madly and deeply, stranger
addicted is this innocent boy
when love outshone my innocence
paved its way in, kissed my heart

Oh Angel! pave your way in...
into my 'wounded' red of tenderness
for I'm waiting, I've been
and I shall, till you're at a lip's distance

Oh Eternal conqueror! My legs fail me,
I can hardly take the goosebumps
I'm floating as in a heaven made by you
swept by a smile even Aphrodite was jealous of!

Oh Princess! This distance of separation hurts
Would you talk to me? Would you gift that smile?
For I have not the guts to initiate....All I've is
wrapped with my burning soul, my unconditional love

Oh stranger! I gift you my soul, myself...
and my bleeding heart craving for you...
Yet you elude from the sweetest of my dreams....
I know not why; hey girl...this hurts....

My love, you're turning back before I could begin.
And I'm stuck...left in shambles..holding on...
Oblivious to my presence, you dissolve among your friends
and walk away from this unseen stranger
I can say no more, write no more, I depart
The pain is sweet and as soothing
as any sun-baked summer day in my town
Ah! You're smiling and you're happy, aren't you angel?
Now I shall walk away and there's no turning back
For you were happy the last time met you my gaze
Your image's sealed in my heart, as is this poem....
