You touched me deeply

You touched me deeply
Eyes minarets of Taj Mahal
Inscribed in Arabic calligraphy
Standing strong,guarding the secrets of the soul
Heart beating ,jumping antelope over streaming waterfall
Each time I look, seeing myself inside them
Conquered by emotions little girl I cry
Powerless to stop the innervation
Days pass in colorless routine
I wait the hour when your train arriving
You stepping down on platform
Voice trembling,lights blinding
Conductor passing by, saying last stop
Yes baby you alright ,time to disembark
