At First Sight



It was the freshers day at the university,
I saw her in a dark blue saree,
With a blissful smile on her enchanting face,
Our eyes met,                                                                                     I felt a sudden feeling in my heart,
I was simply driven,                                                                      With  an enchanting feeling,
 We exchanged glances,                                                    
 I  dared not to speak to her,                                                                    And she too  was feeling shy,            
They call-'love at first sight',
It was only a feeling, a passing fancy,
Alas!, it left an enduring pain in my mind,
Of absolute rejection and deprivation.

About this poem
