"The Quest" by Prantika Ghosh

Am i not the one
to steal your very sense
in a full moon night,
when you feel,
none being across the fence,
someone out of sight ?

Perhaps i am not the one
to play my symphony upon
the chords of your heart,
when you know, having won
even the dusk and the dawn,
someone you love is still apart.

I, am not the one
to sing your favourite song
while swaying across in thought,
when you find, upon someone
to caress you all along,
yourself smiling out of naught.

Can i just be the one
to linger in your emotions
on an otherwise low day,
when you think, you have no one
to hold you atleast once,
if ever you lose your way ?
