IT SO HAPPENS IN LIFE….

Believe it or not

such  things are possible in life,

Believe it or not 

anything is possible in life.

Would you believe me

or take it with a pinch of salt

if I disclose a secret in my life?

Believe it or not it so

happened in my life, sorry our life.

In the prime of my life 

I happened to meet a blonde

in her twenties

while both of us happened to be in

the same compartment of a

long distance train.

Though I wished to

inquire many things to her

she too might have

attempted to share her

countless feelings with me.

Both of us

thru innumerable glances

conveyed abundant messages

the initiative didn’t come forth from both of us

a barrage of inquiries

for reasons unknown to both of us

got locked in our tongues unable to

come forth

though both of us

hoped to nurture the plant of love

and hoped to see our sweet dreams

bearing flowers, if not fruits

both of us shrugged away

from watering the plants of mutual attraction.

It was not because of

lack of courage or

anyone being discouraged

or due to shyness or

the apprehension of someone

eavesdropping, so I believe.

While our train

raced ahead thru a long dark tunnel for more than

five minutes

I and she like magnets

locked in a passionate embrace and

innumerable kisses

feeling each others lips

which spoke of thousands and thousands of love

we did care to utter anything.

With the train coming

to the world of light

both of us like

two strange bed fellows

pulled away from

each other of course

with smiles on our lips.

Still we desisted from

uttering even a single word

to each other.

Both of us might have

had a notion than

love or mutual attraction never

needs words.

Somewhere along the way

she conveyed goodbye

by waving her hands at me

and forgot not to gift me flying kiss.

I too responded

by waving hands and a flying kiss.

Deep down in my heart

I silently conveyed my heartfelt wishes.

Believe it or not

it so happens in life

and for that matter

anything could happen

in our life.

Both remain unaware

of each others’ whereabouts

perhaps she must be my neighbour in

the suburb  

or else she might be

in a faraway land.

Such things could

happen in our life

believe it or not…
