Elusive Lover…

From the shackles of boredom and entrap of loneliness…

Emerged sketches of an elusive lover,

With chiseled features & curly tresses;

Ah! The perfect Greek god…

Teasing the romantic in me to write;

With a feather dipped in ‘Sea of Love’

Holding my trembling hand; as I begin to write just for HIM…

In his enthralling eyes; I find my deep thoughts,

Doing a tango or two, as I look around for ‘Someone’

Who could match my glossary & caliber?

To help me write a poetic fiction; or fable!

Wonder if I could borrow his eyebrows for a day

And use them as a brush; to paint the blank canvas of my LIFE…

His thoughts romancing mine; reaches its pinnacle

In the form of words; when subtly expressed…!

Oh, My perfect Greek god,

You evoke thoughts of Odysseus, Apollo & Hercules in me,

Like superfluous ex-pressions, deficient without yours;

I find my parables unfinished despite effortless attempts

To write a line or two for YOU…!

Yours truly,
