A Thousand Times For You... Poem by Archana Rose

I see in your eyes, a reflection on my mind,
A love that was lost, but now you sought to find.
I can feel you reading me like an open book,
each movement and flurry and every gesture and look.
I gaze with mouth wide open wondering how you gained such a stride,
to know me so much you take great pride.
You are the earliest memory imprinted on my mind,
the first pattern in which pixels in my retina would bind.
I have seen you and known you through years,
you have been with me through laurels and fears.
Fears unknown that had crept into me,
but banish them from my mind, I am confident you make sure you see.
A jeweled treasure among my friends you are,
A pure love gushes, untainted and unfamiliar to mar.
You watch me day and night, year after year,
and when you cry, I feel thy love smeared on every tear.
Your eyes swell when I am hurt,
you hold me tightest even after pulling me out from untouchable dirt.
I don't know how you could feel so much for me,
Amazed to understand this was how love is meant to be.
My fears when I was in the womb is now dispelled,
I feared who would be so loving to hold me as his friend.
But now I cant understand how I entwined in your heart,
you nourished me in your thoughts and made me an indispensable part.
When you hold me close, I find our rhythms meet,
The truth is that we are two moving on a single beat.
I see you on rise, I see you on set,
I can't remember a moment when your gaze on me wasn't met.
You seem to have time for my every beackon and call,
And you spread your arms to hold me when I fall.
I am helpless to repay you in kind,
I grope among gifts to pick the best I can find.
But alas in vain I end my quest,
and all I can say is 'you are the best'.
I see the tears swell in your eyes again,
your love for me makes me go insane.
You look with a tender heart dilating in your eyes,
and I say you are to me very nice.
I am sorry I aroused your tears to their brim,
I wish they fill my heart and drown me, I don't want to swim.
I don't know how to thank you, again i say,
But you pull me close and I want it forever that way.
I can't bear to look in your eyes,
you garnished my life with the 'Love' spice.
And yet after all this you say,
'May I be able to give you more love every beautiful day......'
