Day Of My Love....! Poem by Arun Achudh

Everything was going fine as usual,
With people so busy walkin,
Running & working on the street;

I was there amidst them all,
Walkin on the street of mine, unknown-
About that the day was special;

Throughout the street my eyes scanned, and-
Smiled at things being unusual, with-
With no hint what made the day so special;

Just few steps I went down the street,
Scanning stopped; my eyes fixed;
All sounds around me stepped down,
The air I breathe filled my lungs slowly, and-
For the first time ever my heart & soul told me, that’s-
Your girl who is coming down the street;

Amazed at her, I gazed at her and,
My blood ran thrice its speed though,
My heart was almost ceased;

My eyes slowly but desperate to blink but,
I still fighting to let not my lids fold; then,
Suddenly at me she glimpsed & just then my eyes blinked;

Sounds were back again & everything’s back normal,
Like a storm she evaded and crossed me by;

Smiling at the events that happened that second,
I turned at her and saw her looking at me;
The sounds stopped again and,
That’s where my love began..!
