Lost

She came in my life out of the blue

And tiptoed quietly without a cue

I had lost all hope and got engrossed

In life's numerous chores

Forgot to feel and thought I had heeled

Mundane life was the order of the day

A clock like existence ticked away

Became a workaholic in every way

The emptiness was always there

Where she came from I do not know

Captivated by the beauty of her presence

I had completely lost life's essence

She taught me to love myself again

And reached my inner soul

Made me laugh and feel again

She was truly charismatic

I was the crowned King of her universe

Her voice held a thousand musical notes

Her eyes shone with my image

And yet her let her go

Thinking there would be many more

Why restrict myself and be confined

Why not enjoy when I still have time

Making excuses for myself

But now that she has gone

I discovered her love was indeed rare

The deafening silence is every where

I wish for her to be back

If only I could hold her now

I would cherish and love her for eternity

Alas ! if once lost there can be no second opportunity
