WAITING (2)

This is a beautiful night,

It's quite and dark,

No one to say a word,

No one, anything to ask.

Hearing the dogs bark,

Sky without the stars,

The moon is visible,

Not full, only half.

Wind blowing, trees move,

Birds sleeping,

Are you awake too?

Noise of thoughts, in the silent night,

Kills the hope, which wants to bud inside,

Waiting for someone to arrive,

To share this night,

My heart counting zero to nine,

No one yet arrived.

All lights off, fine,

No ray of hope to shine,

Waiting for the sun to rise,

In a different way,

                                                                     All waste of time...

STRANGERS

We were strangers, when I first met you,

You didn't even give a look, and I was already in to you.

Some feelings came to me, I don't know why,

And they were growing every minute passing by.

I realized you were all alone, 

So was I, ready to get along.

That was the first time I asked for your name,

You chuckled cutely which drew me insane.

A beautiful girl with a beautiful name,

Like I was waiting from ages for the same.

We became friends, and were with each other without any rest,

Now love makes our heart melt.

I hope we can stay beside each other till eternity,

And be in love whole heartedly.
