15. “Eye to Eye”

15. “Eye to Eye”

(…continued…)

Nil ran half a kilometer to reach that place,
Niki came riding her scooty
with ease & grace,

Seeing Niki
his heart felt light and gay,
But seeing the scooty
he paused in surprise that day,

“Morning walk,”he said,”Made me run fast
& you, the princess rode the scooty
calm & relaxed,
That’s not fair at all… what about me?”

Hearing this,
Niki laughed with cheer,
& said with a smile, clear and sincere,

“Oh! I just said it lightly
simple and plain,
Whatever the reason
meeting matters again,
You came running here
that’s your choice, dear,
So don’t blame me now…”

She said with a tease so clear,
His face fell a little
he pointed to a coffee shop near,

Niki blushed pink and whispered low,
“Alright… I’m sorry,”
her voice a gentle flow,

Both took a breath
feeling relief at last,
They met at last
thirst of the heart had passed,

Sitting face to face
their eyes began a silent fight,
Till the waiter arrived
& broke that moment tight.

Coffee was ordered, the waiter sent away
Niki, blushed softly, choosing silence to stay,
In the pink winter
she looked like a tender pink flower
Seeing her so, Nil‘s too lost words …there…
