The Dawn

The Dawn
Her presence blocked out all other thoughts I could possibly have. I was left numb and dumb. I was overwhelmed: I felt like what I felt in Mecca and Medina. I pinched myself to confirm her presence: she was right there before me: her eyes had all the fire and spirit that announce virtue and intelligence at the same time. There was a typical catharsis in those eyes:  they had the power to effect my transmutation to paradise. I could sense the beauty of paradise before me.

Her perfume and deo made her presence all the more obvious, although I didn’t need my olfactory senses to drink the magic potion before me. She was a dream come true, and I was visualizing the dream with both of my eyes open. She had stepped into my life to resonate my world with sweet melodies. I hope I can sound even sweeter melodies in her life. She was to be the threshing-machine that would thresh out all my thoughts, opinions and feelings. She would guide me towards the realization of my dreams: from now on, my dreams would live in her eyes too.

It was the end of the road for some of my dreams, I know. But dreams fade with the night. She was the dawn of a new era in my life. A thunderstorm reverberated across the heavens to celebrate our union. There was the customary lightning and rain as the dreams were washed out of my life. It was the end of the road for some of her dreams too. But we were to share our dreams now. She gave me a gentle push, and it brought me back to the real world: there would be hardships and even fights, but I hope all of it ends well.


The sun gradually gained power over a dark and yet luminous night, and it was the dawn of  the first day of our lives.
