Love At First Sound Poem by DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK

Love at first sound
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It was moonlit night
Not a soul was in sight
Only silence was the sound
Heard at midnight around
Then rang the mute telephone
In my room where I was alone
Receiver I picked up
Heard a female voice speaking up
Emotions of love to my roommate
Whom she had started dating of late
My roommate was not home
And I happened to be at the room
Listening to her voice of vent
That made me shy and reticent
"Then humbly I said to her
Listen you faceless stranger"
"I am not the guy you are talking to
For I am his roommate"
Never had she cared listening to me ever
And ended up talking for hours
Bringing us closer and closer to something else
That he said, I could feel it love and nothing else
And now twenty-five amazing years later
Her voice is still a music lingering in my ears!
