The Red Rose of Autumn

Never did I feel that it would be my heart that I was about to miss,

When after 2 years of our friendship I realized that your smile gave me bliss!

Yesterday we were indeed miles apart in opposite directions to explore,

And today you rest on my shoulder as we watch the horizon from the velvet shore.

I always sang melody but this time I emanated those notes which I had never sung,

Even your faintest glimpse was enough for clotting all the blood in my breathing lung.

We had been friends for some time but I never felt losing myself before you this way,

Suddenly all the roses from the paradise rushed to adorn my already shimmering day.

I was always proud of my confidence but it did not work in front of you,

Your killing eyes always made my knees go weak and I messed up with what to do!

Whatever dialogues I had planned the previous night to blurt before you with grace,

Were rendered untold as I was awkwardly speechless in front of your calm face.

Curse it! When I was only friends with you, I could speak to you openly,

And now when I wish our friendship climbs a higher step, I act so dumbly!

The serenity of your intellect and the loudness of your beauty gets me dazed,

How can someone be so flawless? ... Your perfection always made my heart amazed.

Whenever I see you chuckle and giggle in the way an innocent child does,

I get trapped in your charm even more and can barely move in the whole fuss.

I can hardly sleep now and my whole nights are consumed thinking of you,

And with the soaring sun I can see your face, smiling happily out in the blue.

Color red has turned out to be the friend I always hoped for in my past,

I feel that it stains me with odour and hue dated for forever to last.

The pellucid eyes of yours spell a trance on me, whenever I look into them

And blossom some ancient exotic flowers of the Garden of Eden on my stem.

I never enjoyed such a restless feeling ever before,

Out of all the emotions with which I was drenched, this is the only one that I allure.

Love is indeed like the red rose of autumn, which is as beautiful as anything can be,

It is that force which pushes you higher towards solace through the steps of glee.
