Love-at-first-sight.

Do you believe in love at first sight? Yea baby, I do. Been there! Done that! I ain’t talking about the people who look at one-fall in love (make that lust) & repeat the pattern 2000 times over again. I'm talking about that fatal attraction at the first instance that only grows into real love with time. It’s a strange sort of a click that happens in your brain.

You need to be close-just to reconfirm. Unknown kinds of forces push & pull between you till you finally give in.

It continues as you find excuses to stick together & unconsciously can't keep your eyes off this new person. You want to impress them & they do the same to you. There's a need to relate to "that" person time after time. There is the person you find your reflection so sharply in. Here before your eye is the person you want to be close to. This is the inevitable romance that your heart waited all those damned years for & it says...this is your person! Have you ever felt the tingling under the skin; the butterflies in the tummy when he or she looked your way?

Did you deep inside pray that they'd go on looking & find something as valuable in you as much as you found in them. There you stood hoping that when the time comes you’d be the lucky one who’d be picked out from the crowd.

And remember the feeling when the hand gently brushed against your arm. That rush of emotions-the deeply stirring touch that roused a thousand latent emotions! It was the delicate way the fingers moved about that made the heart skip a beat. It was in the smile & the eyes that spoke volumes without a word. It was there in the way he or she spoke or gazed.

If you recall, you know it’d happened to you whether you were the love skeptic or the romantic, you know that once in your life love held you prisoner- you were lucky!

A Stroll On the Shore

The night was cold & humid. A soft breeze blew through the city. They walked down the shore with their hands in their pockets. They enjoyed the moments they shared. The moon was high & the tides were low. The waves rolled at the shore & slide silently into the sands. The moon made the tides glitter with the light. They ambled with their gaze low. An unfaltering smile danced on their lips. For a moment they stopped & it felt like forever when she looked into his deep blue eyes. Those ocean blue eyes that appeared tired & cold were warm & aglow that night. The sea reflected in them. He smiled down at her innocent face, spell-bounded by the beauty held in them. The moon-lit eyes appeared a hazy shade of silvery-gray. The wind tossed about their hair. The moment merged the two souls into one. They became the tides & its winds; with the friendship of a lifetime & a promise of forever.

Love- Madness

I knew that this would happen. I knew that this was love from the surge of the weird desires. I knew it was a mistake to let even the thought of you seep through my senses. I didn’t think that they would sweep over & take control of all of me. I was short-sighted. There’s a miracle in your hand that cured all ails of mine. I was running around tangled in my own chains & soul searching in the ashes of memories. You took my hand & freed me. Since that time I have been a fool for you. I’ve been running from you at every corner but your shadows follow me everywhere. I tried to run at the turn of the corner but even as I turned to check if I’d lost you- there you stood right in front of my eyes. As always your smile won me over. The softness of your face always captivated me & I found myself in love again.

I knew I was sinking in quick sand & no matter how hard I tried to stay afloat I could only go down. I suppose that’s what they call love. I ain’t blind, I assure you. I know that I act absurd, but don’t all lovers know that? I worship your memories. I worship the ground beneath your feet. You look my way & I try to hide the love in vain. I am so trapped & I’m happy to be your prisoner. I’d gladly bear the torment you bestow upon me with the mere thought that you give me attention. Its crazy isn’t it?

I’ve tried to chase you from my mind but I see only you wherever I look. I search for you in my happy moments & I want to reach to you when I’m down. I am self-sufficient but where does that sufficiency go when you’re around? Why is it like wild fire when my eyes catch that unmistakable glimpse of you? You color my dreams. You trail me by the moonlight. Each song is filled with the music of your thought. Every sentence I speak is diseased with your influence. If I could erase a part of my mind I’d erase all that holds your name. But then my life would fade out like the painting with the color extracted. My life is beautiful because you are part of it. You are the object of my desire that makes me feel the love that I feel. You are my love, even if it kills me it would be the sweetest trip into eternity.
