Mist and Overcast

Then in a picturesque hilltop...

It was the day of my life when I saw you on the earth.

You were running hurriedly like the secret lover,

trying to hide from the early risers.

But you did not realize

that the sun had shown you flee, hastily past me.

Forgive me please, if I had embarrassed you.

But, I really did not mean to.

You were out of the world and I could not help

staring at you, stealthily, and breathing every bit of you.

When you looked back and caressed me,

the million on my skin went on a high.

When you passed through me,

you took apart a piece that I am still in search of.

And now in the maddening city...

When I look back, you are seen nowhere.

Won't you play an encore and honor my yearnings?

My senses are ever filled with your bubbly cheer,

even though there is always blue all around you.

The other day, I was roaming on the streets,

And you were drifting around, in bunches.

My eye, or was it my mind, saw a panoramic view.

It perceived you to be a spectator,

gathered around an arena,

watching a mad rushing herd

returning home, after running their rat races.
