A Walk to Remember

A Walk to Remember

Calm and serene,
The tranquil ambience engulfs me
In the gentle breeze,
Sway the leaves on the tree clumps
Awestruck, at the youth of spring
The quaint roses dance along

Engrossed in him, I walk along the arbor
The lily flowers ready to wither away in summer
Echo out, with mine, their heart’s thirst
Slowly and slyly, his azure eyes meet mine
Drenching my heart and quenching my thirst
Like the early morning May showers

For a moment he looks away,
With a somber face he shakes his head,
And laments, “No! I doubt if I can do it.”
The twinkling stars I had seen in his eyes
Fade away with these poignant words

My hands extend out to hold his
Wrapping his hands in mine
I gaze at him and say,
“I’m sure you can. Trust me!”

His face lights up and eyes glisten
His lips crease as he looks at me,
Curving out and flashing a smile
A moment of silence between us,
My heart skips a beat

The cerulean blue sky, gleams
In blissful thoughts,
While looking over us

Entwining my fingers in his,
We move along, listening to
The rhythm of our footsteps,
The rhythm of our heart beats
The rhythm of our love!
