My First Proposal To Poetry!

The captain of my soul beseeched me

To tell about your presence within me.

You dwelled inside my heart

Yet you made me glow like a fluorescent,

Because my love for you was "Incandescent."

I promised my captain that I will reach great heights,

And my only ticket was to be industrious

I wanted to bring my passions to the raging fire

Only to see you flying like the kites.

There were days when I was "Soaked In The Aura of Gloom"

There were days when life was numb and void

Then was the time when you walked in with a boom

Helping me to bounce back by putting my pieces back together.

You were not just my Sun but also my Moon

Yet your pulchritude was that of a Crescent .

And all I knew was that

My Love For You Was Incandescent!
