THIS VALENTINE DAY…..

THIS VALENTINE DAY…..


When I saw you sun bathing on the deserted beach,
Was the day I decided that you I have to reach.
Though I never saw you later except in my dreams,
Since then I have been thinking about you my day each.

I don’t know a thing about you except that you’ve got
A beauty which in my life I have so far seen not.
I now find it impossible just to live alone,
So much intertwined with you now seems to be my lot.

Maybe a day comes when the same path we will travel
And the mysteries of love we both will unravel.
I cannot now rest in peace till my heart pines for you.
My love’s intensity knows no limit, no level.

I know not how to convey the feelings of my heart.
Through this poem, this Valentine Day I make a start.
