My Orlay

Illustration by Hitesh Panchal

Seeing your eyes blink, I see my world so high,

When a slight curve decorates your face, it makes my mind fly.

How I pity myself, for you I cannot impress,

Slowly grows my pain deep within, which I am unable to express.

How can I show, tell or even justify my deed,

You! I don’t want, but is all that I really need,

From the morning, till the night,

Only you! I reckon in every twilight.

Always igniting a spark of happiness in me,

Burns all my loneliness when I imagine about we.

From the sun to sand and rocks to rivers,

Everyone is aware about my pure love shiver.

When I walk the streets assuming your meadows,

Your love protects me from surrounding dark shadows.

Feelings for you gives me courage and allows me to be may,

Here, there, everywhere you are, besides my orlay...
