Lustrous Eyes Poem by vijay menon

your lustrous eyes and captivating smile
the enchanting looks
keeps me spellbound
and i pine for you

your simple gaze
makes me dumb
i swallow my words
that are for you

but one fine
some other day
i will gather my wits and guts
speak aloud what i think of you

beauty makes all of us proud
but not that much
to be brazen in your deeds

your eyes speak more
that even words fail to say
i still live in a hope
and grope in the dark

from dawn to dusk
i wait for some good sign from you
even if it means a sweet smile
or a simple nod
