Encantador Love Poem by Shruti Sinha

Reminiscing days, before I met you
A sketchy soul; hesitant and naive
So little then I knew
Terrified from a deeper dive

Lessons realized that changed my perceptions
You are the genius who taught me those
That humans herald for imperfections
As thorns are there to every rose

Mystified why fate showed me you
Like the lifeless of a land
Enchanted with a gracious dew
Like warmth to a forlorn hand

Reminiscing back, before you met me
A masterpiece soiled in the ground
The passion bled empty
For a love never found

And my heart gets piqued to the broken
To the eyes sore red from crying
To the facade that you feign
To the hope that is dying

As for you, never know what you feel
Wondering you even do care
Obscuring yourself beneath a veil
Even though my soul's shed bare

Perhaps that's the very fault in me
Always expecting a little too much
From a heart locked under a key
The truth guarded from my touch
