A TOUCH NEVER FELT - Megha Nair

Each day I thought of thee...

For those mesmerizing eyes had captured me.

Veins transparent in his hands so hard,

It looks as though they were a piece of art.

He sounded like the tingling of waves,

One may imagine he swallowed "the lord of art's" grace..

So much love did I have for him,

But never did I mention for the fear of losing him.

Of all my friends the closest was he,

But did he ever have spare time for me??

He has crushes on all the girls in our class,

But fall in true love I had never imagined alas!!!

One fine day the most unexpected happened,

On seeing this girl he felt his soul threatened.

Now love in his life life had an important part,

As a friend i had to protect his little heart.

Marriage & engagement went by a fast swirl,

And each section I felt the ground under my feet pull..

Happiness & joy awaited the family,

For they awaited the coming of their baby.

The child a colour of peaches and cream,

Maybe the cutest child one may ever dream.

Once she slipped a little off the stairs,

I noticed her father's rise of hairs...

I caught her for as little was she,

And in regard he once hugged me..

Agast as I was for the moment had come,

I heard the beat of my heart through my eardrum.

FOr it was the touch I had never felt,

FOr it was the thirst that was never quenched..

FOR THIS WAS THE DREAM THAT ONCE WAS TOSSED APART..

FOR THIS WAS THE DREAM THAT ONCE WAS TOSSED APART...

Fast rushed in the memories while i silently stand and groan..

For they are the memories of a begone home..
