O' you beautiful stranger !

O beautiful stranger:
Before I intend to draw you
Let me fetch- the ink from oceans
The colours and beauty from heavens, and
The dreams
From your dreamy eyes.

I know:You are one beautiful song
Written with lovely lyrics
Composed with tender feelings.
Hence, beautiful stranger
Make sure-
You stay unruffled and stay calm as I draw you.
I will draw you, and
Will let you know
How sweet you taste, or
How bitter you bite.

Beautiful stranger:
I know I would hardly offer any resistance
To your dreamy eyes
While mixing colours
And dreams
And
Lyrics
On the canvas.

But beautiful stranger:
I would close my eyes
And would sketch with utmost care
Your oceanic eyes
And tender lips.
I will take extra care, while
Drawing your sensual legs
Your voluptuous thighs, and
The curves of your breasts
With my wild heart.

But beautiful stranger:
Would I ever be able to do that
As Art and liberty is stranger to me and my people
As you are to me- tonight.
Hence:
I would rather stay back
Dream of you from a distant past
And will paint you
In my poems
With my tender feelings
And grieving heart.
