Her smile-
Holds the calm of still water
♬ And if only she knew
How deep it drew
The ardent me
With leashes few ♬
*My storm would subside*
Her laughter-
Holds the tinkle of bells
♬ And if only she knew
Those tinkles, they grew
With gales that passed
And every breeze that blew ♬
*I'd lie in silence*
Her locks-
Hold the darkness of night
♬ And if only she knew
What darkness brew
What tales it told
'n what nights construe ♬
*I'd rest in peace*
Her eyes-
Hold eternal gaze
♬ And if only she knew
Such gazes are cue
To get one lost
Forever from view ♬
*I'd be immortal*
Her exuberance-
Holds the first draft of spring
♬ And if only she knew
Such drafts are few
That spur a bloom
'n flutter hearts anew ♬
*I'd then want to live*

1. An extremely extremely extremely simple "What If" analysis.
2. Raja Ravi Varma's paintings are really inspirational, I tell you. You just have to look at them long enough!
3. Follow up to 'Smitten' with the same protagonist. Step 2 - Check :)
4. The world would be so simple with a simulator. "Ok Simulator, What If ...?" :)))
5. Title picked up from "What If" - Isaac Asimov. If Sci-Fi interests you then do read it.

ReplyDeleteCan't believe it was just Ravi Verma's painting that inspired these beautiful verses.

@Damaru: Of course emphatically NO!! Raja Ravi Varma is a ruse as you rightly guessed :)
