ROMANCE OF TWO FOREST BLOOMS

POEM

Leaning over the balcony

enjoying the golden sun

and warm breeze which filtered through the lush greenery

in the evening yesterday,

I spotted two red blooms kissing each other 

shyly and stealthily

like two lovers in the

nearby forest, yes forest.

Watching their romance

with a beaming smile

oblivious of the surroundings

scenes and talks of the

passerby  walking down the road

both of them came

across me and was seen whispering

to each other with

the shyness still unwilling to fade away.

Deciphering whispers is

something impossible

still I felt like the duo were conveying to

each other something about me.

In my make-believe world of sweet dreams

I prayed earnestly to ever merciful God

to allow them to be there

sharing love in the coming days too….

I was eager to wake up early in the morning

with thumping heart and bated breath

I waited anxiously and with

impatience, unbound impatience

for the golden sun to appear in the western horizon.

God must have decided otherwise.

To my shock and aching heart

I threw my eyes leaning over the balcony

in the absence of the golden sun

the dark cloudy sky was spreading dusky shades

over the earth

the two red blooms have disappeared.

Still without losing hope 

with  the disappearance of

dark clouds , the two lovers

would reappear in

a golden evening kissing

each other….to make me smile with unlimited pleasure………………..
