By the River Side

There She sat by the river side,
Her hair still swinging gently
with the cold breeze blowing by;
covering her apppearence from the
rest of the world.
And even She unaware
of every single sound,
that surrounded her innocence presence.

Behind the trees , I stood in silence
with a skeptical mind to approach her.

Had invested my lifetime to gather my self-assurance
just to face her eyes with my feelings for her.

Advanced towards her with reluctant steps
with a impatient heart, filled with hopes.

The distance was half,when the thought struck again;

My steps stopped without my agreement,
My mind started disobeying my belief,

Not a feet ahead could I move ....

I realized the fence that blocked my way;
My aged phobia that always lead my way,
everytime I made my mind to go beside her...

Futile at this occassion too ...

Felt a thousand reactions in my mind,
and my heart pacing with them just to understand .... Why ?
Found myself standing alone
on an open ground where no tresspasser by...

And there She sat by the river side,
unaware of every single sound that tore me out...
