easy, so easy is the breeze
arresting by its freshness
young, so young and green
just like a schoolboy crush
on the bright girl who smiled
each time he caught her
staring at the presence of him
spraying blushes on her rosy cheeks

easy, so easy to remember
the fleeting glimpses of recall
when the girl wanted to run away
yet her feet couldn’t move away

and I feel held by
that careless frolic amongst
‘missing of heartbeat’ scenes
of yesterday's memories

valentine’s, that is what today is
a day made by Cupid‘s design
a day to remember when we get old
to carry the memories of you and me

I squeeze the breeze around me
and feel the freshness of the love
that surrounds me in nascent air
while pure clouds in white hang
down like curtains draping the sky

and there blooms a yearning
like a flower uncurling
with the first rays of the day
as slanted light beams intersect
the beauty that is you

and thus this day begins
in coloured shades of love

tomorrow, I’ll look back to today
revisiting scenes of my memory

Sudhir, I do like the repetitiousness of some of the phrasing, like an echo, echo on the wind....

very, very pleasing....

Sudhir,
I love the way you squeeze the breeze around you

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Sudhir,
You make the elements into a bouquet and present them to the fair. Well done.

How nice, to be able to enjoy this fragrant bouquet of love, long after the blush of Valentine's Day has faded. And I really liked that breeze squeeze.
