Love Poem: How Do You Feel

How Do You Feel

all the tiny pieces of life blended together 
                           when I met you at amber sunset, 
                          gossamer light of the melting rays
                                 fell on us…beside a dock, 
                              with weathered grey planks, 
                                       I looked at you, 
                                           eyes met,
                                       words paused, 
                                     How did you feel? 

                                     you gazed at me…
                      after so many years of cruel separation, 
                                        eyes locked, 
                      our hearts battled with untold  emotions, 
                          I remembered all the fragrance and 
                                     fragments of our life, 
                         which I was never able to piece together, 
                             always felt like unsolved puzzles! 

                            I wished for the soothing raindrops 
                           which once drizzled us like blessings, 
                           yearned for the dreamy azure clouds 
                                           floating above us, 
                          when golden saffron-scented flower-petals 
                                      sprawled on the ground.... 
                          I feel I am back to where we started, 
                                          How do you feel?
