POEM
Lovers they are
lovers they remain
unmarried they are
but with married effect.
They neither held rituals
nor held ceremonies
since they didn’t believe
in such things.
They first met in the city
they fell in love in the city.
One day with mutual consent
decided they to live together.
Each of them remains happy and
never indulges in quarrels.
But they discuss
and argue about
matters aplenty in a jovial mood.
In the morning at sharp 9AM
they step down the stairs
and walk down
the road to the railway station
to catch the train
and return in the evening together.
After the supper
under the starry night
both come to the balcony
and their eyes capture
the visual beauty of the vibrating city
and listen to the hustle and bustle
of the city with
the trains and vehicles
running fast to and fro
and go inside
read a lot and write a lot.
And with tranquil, serene
and peaceful minds
slump into the bed
and make merry
under the speeding fan.
And they get drowned
in the deep sea of peaceful slumber.
