That One Look

That one look,
Was so different;
From all the earlier times,
Their eyes had met.

This look - was not of love;
Love that brought them closer,
Had vanished in thin air.

This look - was not of care;
The bond of care and affection,
Had suddenly lost traction.

This look - was not of guidance;
The direction she sought,
Was now pointing to a dead end.

This look - was not of support;
The reassuring comfort,
Had flipped into a disheartening crush.

This look - was not of anger;
The rightful anger and understanding,
Had lost way to distrust and disdain.

It was just a stare,
A blank stare;
Difficult to comprehend;
And she kept wondering,
Were there words to be read?

Reflection of Soul

Shining like diamonds,

Radiating brightness all around.

Reflecting innocence,

That's a baby's crown.

Blooming like flowers,

Spreading the fragrance of joy.

With the depth of an ocean,

That has a lot to fathom.

They convey everything

That you feel,

Sad, or happy,

Or, trying to heal.

One look is worth

A thousand words.

Hidden inside,

Are precious pearls;

And each pearl in there,

Makes it, all the more rare.

Pristine and magnificent,

I look upto those with reverence;

Inspire me to rise heights,

Those my dear, are your eyes.
