For the first time

Monday 17th February 2020

 

I met him for the first time

and let the tune aired

my heart got flared

and simply dared

 

I was inches far

he seemed to be my star

my heart felt a bar

was he really playing guitar?

 

his words echoed

and toed to my mind

I could find him reasonable

and very nice individual

 

I found the magnetic pull

and made the circle full

was it divine feeling in love?

I thought so and believed

 

It was arranged meet

and was supposed to converse and greet each other

I was simply flying like wild bird

and waiting for his embrace and kind words

 

was it proving to be true?

I was not sincere enough to pay due

but had an inner joy

the life was going to be a place to enjoy
