Ode to a stranger

Your first sight,

Made me bewilder,

Had we met hither?

Trying to recollect,

You kept an index finger,

Shut my lips,

And claimed me yours.

I was rebellious,

A woman who never bowed,

Then why now?

To, you, stranger,

With no familiar people around.

With no protests,

I confessed,

A person who grew unknown to me,

Was it You or me?

A dream, a dream,

No not possible,

Your touch,

A touch so real,

That weighs beyond reality.

Oh, You! My Stranger!

Had I just known you well,

For living with your memories,

Aches my heart to hell.

Oh, My Stranger!

I pray,

That you are alright,

For you were an unknown world,

Who sheltered me,

From a cruel earth.
