What.If.

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.

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

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