My Lady

I met her today with a curious look in my eyes

Wondering what the look in her eyes implies

Sharing my woes is our regular confluence

My heart feels feather under her influence

She looks different today I surmise

Her eyes are shining like sunrise

I feel the difference and appraise

Looking at her for an apprise

She smiles at me as a mother smiles to her child

Her gaze has a pride, As if I were her esteem profiled

“I let you down today”, I said with guilt in my eyes

Her smile very intact, she strongly denies

“I broke under the pressure, bowed my head to censure

I defied your principles and never showed pleasure”

She patted my back with a forgiving gesture

“But you stood up again, the reason for my pleasure”

You succumbed to the injuries

While crossing the boundaries

That was beyond your reach

Look inside you is what I beseech

You will find that you always dared to dream

You were courageous enough to travel upstream

Obstacles are a way of making you strong

That is the way you stand out in throng

I smiled and I raised my head with pride

Now I knew that the glint in her eyes were bestride

Ready to face a new day with my bestowed vigor

I took leave of her and walked away from the mirror.
