Love Poem: She

She

SHE

      She sat at bank of brook when Sun was down
      I stepped close to her and she made a frown.
      She sat sad in brink of brook, night to merge.   
      Just to talk face to face, I felt deep urge.

      Moon played hide and seek through white cloud, seemed shy.
       Could not help but fell in rash love well-nigh.
      Charmed, whelmed: Feet got stuck: Next? I could not think.
      She cast a glance and my eyes stopped to blink.
     
     My heart whirled to lose sense: Moon shone bold bright.
      She came close, crossed me and went out of sight.
      Time paused, I stood dumb: Stars sighed with Moon beam.
       Stream to flow, Moon to glow, I lost my dream. 
      
       No one was near, she sat on the stream side.
      I had wished to show my love not to hide.
