To, be there

It was many a times

I, walked past and had gazed

dreaming of the grandeur

that lay beyond those

facing the bay.

I, longed to go there

The hidden glares

casting their serene glows

beckoning of the aura

for whom, who could be there

I, wished but once

my stares to rest

just, for being a part

I, hoped to be there

And so it was destined

a meeting of leisure with friends was held

passions, overtook my enthusiasm

I, had to go there

expectations were being unfurled

the ambiance was amazing

wonder struck, I stood

that, I was now there

the glistenings and the glitters

the gourmets and the wines

the delights and romances

the pleasures spread

were all over there

Special, I felt

pampered, wasn't I

they made me belong

for, just being there

Content to my absolute self

the melodies, warming my heart

I, looked thro' those to see

Twilight, caressing the bay.

The sails down the harbour

rocking gently on the waves

It was splendid to sit there

Many, I saw them passing by

overwhelmed by the majestic mystic

enshrined in the glory of the rays

Oh! how wonderful I felt

that, now I had been there
