Love Reborn.

We decided to play a game, well past midnight
I asked her if she could count from one to infinite
She was a game, try she would, definite
I had her curiosity, ignite

Hand in hand we walked up to the terrace
Full moon night, the moon with a glow on her face
Cool breeze, aflutter the lingerie's lace
She sure matched the night with all her grace

She started, from one
I knew even by dawn, she wouldn't be done
I dropped a hint, for fun
Asked her to count the stars
Voila!
Saw the stars in her eyes, no pun!

She must have reached the umpteen
And the clouds crossed over
Worse they giggled and laughed
Poor thing lost the count
Started again,all over

Just as she had a few to reach the infinite
She hit the moonlight
Stung by the resplendent sight
Her efforts were blight

She was still a game
I had started feeling the shame
She was at it again, just the same
Her belief in me, a freeze-frame

She put all her heart and started again
Her blood shot eyes revealing the pain
As she neared the gain
A star fell from the sky,
A shooting star straight in our lane

The darkness just before dawn
The darkest hour of the morn
Her eyes searching my wish, lovelorn
Mine hopelessly in love, reborn
A love for a lifetime, sworn......................
