The Scarf
The Scarf
I could see, yet
It was unseen
How should I say
What would she mean
As far as I remember
I had never happen
That the world slows down
But my heart fasten
I was the solitary watcher
In my garden picking daisies
When the fragrance crossed me
Brightening the street earlier hazy
All the beauty at par
She herself as beauty stood alone
Couldn't get my eyes off her
Even a naughty kid tried a stone!
All of a sudden I lost my balance
My senses went hey why
When she stopped the bicycle
And the lips said "Hi"
Could this be a beginning
Like a tasty strawberry tart?
My lips were sealed, I couldn't move
Let alone make a good start
"Can I have some daisies", she said
"If you don't mind"?
Hey guys give me some wheat
My heart is ready to grind
"How many you want
"Oh, beauty of sunshine?"
"Give me as much as
As the heart can hold of mine"
"Then I am afraid, it won't be full
Since you have a big heart
Can I also accompany
Along with mine in this cart"?
She just smiled and
Took the heartful of daisies
But this wasn't the end
Be patient gentlemen and ladies
On her way back home
Her bicycle stopped midway
She turns around
Maybe there was something to convey
"My scarf has fallen"
Bending down,
I couldn't help but notice
Velvet of shyness
Not the silk gown
At last, the visage disappeared
A beautiful moment for no reason
I couldn't say but wish
Daisies grow every day, every season
The recollection of that time
Would just force me
To pat my head low and laugh
Since not only the bicycle
Not only the daisies
But she took away
My heart along with THE SCARF.....
