Slumbered Feelings

Strangers we were,

When we first met.

Dwelling together for a stretch,

We had no gab.

I was oblivious

That his red-wine eyes,

Had a gaze on me.

He had something concealed,

Deep beneath his heart

That stayed mum for years.

He couldn’t grip it,

For his innocent feelings

Deep down slumbered;

Dispersed like a wild fire

Burdened over fleeting years.

The day ultimately aroused,

When I harkened the tale.

How could an extrovert

Fall for an introvert?

Days fleeted like flurry,

His alluring presence

Made my heart pounce.

We were strangers,

Yet our hearts stringed.

Strangers we were,

When we first met.

Dwelling together for a stretch,

We had no gab.

Never we conversed,

Yet there were conversations;

Held by the heart

Like a slender strand of silk.

T’was a time to bid adieu,

Yet our feelings slumbered

After a hearty gab;

For we both knew

It wasn’t the right time.

Today after years,

We pine each other.

Yet our untold feelings,

Lay deep beneath slumbered.
