Nostalgic Walk

Twilight greeted us from afar Stars twinkled and winked at us from the sky. Moon peered shyly from behind the clouds Its effulgence illuminating our path. A chilly breeze stirred up and ruffled Her billowing turquoise saree A light zephyr caressed her black tresses And the soft tendrils framing her face. She was such a pulchritudinous sight She  glanced at me with a coy smile, When my fingers intertwined around her's And I soflty pulled her closer to me. We both felt the same twinges and sparks That we did twenty two years ago When I had knelt and asked for her hand On a similar starlit evening.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
