Missions
‘Leave me alone’ she said with a smile
Thinking of a trip to the Amazon and the Nile.
Away he walked in some relief
Made his way to the coral reef.
She rode on boats of waves and rains
He walked alone in mounts and plains.
Further as she touched the banks
To many more suitors she said “No Thanks”.
He befriended men on distant lands
Clicked naked women wearing flowery bands.
As affairs blossomed, she grew in repute
As wisdom dawned, he allayed dispute.
These journeys brought them together in the rain
They promised to each other “No quest again”.
They lived and loved in the city forever
Lost in the crowds very high on fever.
Till one day when arose disbelief
Knowledge or bliss was the contention chief.
He knew of nothing he had ever felt
She had no feeling of all that belt.
Leaving the world they landed in space
Dwelt thinking and feeling of love and race.
The oxygen depleted and she had no clue
His hope had died long before he knew.
Breathless they ran and hugged in the dark
No flowers bloomed and sang no lark!
That is ingenious! Paradise lost and regained and uncovered. And those are lilting verses.
Thank you USP!!
Feels good to hear that!

ham tumse mile phir juda ho gaye, dekho phir mil gaye ab honge juda, kyon na aisa kare mil jaye ham sada ke liye…
amazing poem!
What a fitting reply to this rather ordinary post of mine. I love humming that song…specially the lalalalalal….lalalala in the interludes is addictive!! Listen to it once more please!
And Yeah….I am very happy you liked the poem!
i too love that song,but i rather like your poem more than that song. its lyrical value appeals more to me.
thats a compliment!!
thanks!
and a true one!
you saw some thatched houses and an abandoned boat by the quiet beach and your imagination instantly wove a story! you’re an incurable poetic dude, PC… i hope the holidays will cure you, lol
but then, i saw the next post and it talks about the four-letter word, dang. you ought to see a doctor, brother… i’ve heard there’s no cure but physicians do make things a bit manageable, hehehe. 
cheers for the season!
I am a winter person and the holidays will surely add to the miseries of the soul I am sure. Thanks for the warm caring words though!!
but i’ve heard the winter is a drab by nature and you choose the season to add woes to the soul – what luck…
i rest my case and wish you more warmth.

This is real, vivid, and the images linger. Excellent.
Love in the times of existential angst. That was quite a story in verse. What happened to all those stories of “and they lived happily ever after”?
I know!! That fate amuses me now all the more. Having read your comment that is!
i see the experience talking….. amazing piece of beauty !!!
