A Catcher In The Rye

His mind wandered,

with rising thoughts,

fortunes and curses of the unknown,

don’t seem to stop.

———————————————

Their eyes met,

for a long while,

absorbing each other,

dissolving every other one in sight.

———————————————

Serene eyes ,

or so they looked,

absorbing pain with such a calm.

Such magnitude of infiniteness,

he had never seen,

lost in the gaze,

he soaked the charm.

———————————————

And he could stand like that for years , he felt

staring where everything was lost ,

without any sound to be made or a word to be spoken,

keeping his emotions just at bay.

The eyes stared back at him,

easy, relaxed, silent and potent,

taking years of miseries without a flinch,

radiating love and warmth and kindness and affection.

———————————————

A trigger of emotions,

a bubble of happiness ,

a pure smile,

a desire to learn,

unravel the mystery,

churned inside.

He felt happy,

he loved them,

those eyes had nothing to hide.
