A poet was born

You smiled and said “Thank you!”

And all my worries were gone…

Our eyes met, they were meant to,

And thus, a poet was born.

My mind told me “it is just a fallacy”,

But my heart told me to go on.

I just pictured us being together,

That is when a poet was born.

The picture was too vague, too obscure,

But I craved for you somewhere deep down.

This craving became acute with time

No wonder a poet was born!

I kept asking myself “Is he the one?”

“If he left you, would you ever mourn?”

The very thought of it made me tremble.

In that moment, a poet was born.

I longed for you every moment by then

From one dawn to another dawn.

Time was slowly crawling by

With which, a poet was born

‘My words would fail me’, I had this feeling.

“What if it all goes wrong!”

But I had to tell you, anyhow.

And for that, a poet was born.

I finally put my words to test

And waited eagerly for you to reckon.

My mind went numb, I doubted myself

If at all, a poet was born!

“I waited for this moment,

I waited too bad and for too long…”

You embraced me saying this, and I was sure

For you, this poet was born!!!
