If I could but write a story worth more than a picture of a thousand words
If I could but pen a letter mightier than hundreds of swords
If I could but ink out a tale that would be forever told
If I could but tell a lie that would make you forget the truth you hold
Maybe, maybe I wouldn't have died at all

VEIL

An imprint of humbleness, security,
Virtue in many communities,
A veil is just put up to mask,
The dearth of vanity in women.

Bella damsel of the North,
Hides all the scars on her face,
Hides all the tears and sweat,
After her aggravating day's work.

Darkens the desires and aspirations
To dwell her life dauntlessly,
Just like a caged hyena,
Raged with agony and dreams within.

Disguised,
An alien for herself,
Disgraced as a traitor,
With the eyes of disgust.

What was her fault?
Hiding insecurities or being scared-
Scared of her reality,
Under the veil of darkness.

Oh, how thick is the veil!
Does it clench the ravage?
Is it watching over her twinges?
Can it be her refugee?

Title- Love at First Sight

Somewhere in the room full of people and colors
Their eyes met and they saw each other's heart
Somewhere in his ravishing approach
Her senses trembled
Somewhere in his astonishing voice
Her nervous system died
Somewhere butterflies aroused by his touch
Somewhere her smile ensured the trust
Barely knowing each other
Somewhere their hearts melted beneath the ice
Their eyes captured each other's souls
Somewhere they knew it was love at first sight.
