An evocative love poem, by Rajashree, exclusively for Different Truths.
If it were a paper boat ... Might not be destined to flow If it were cursed ... Might not live to last long If it were the envy of unknown Gods ... Might have melted in the magma chamber And might have lost forever But it's our love that is never lost And moreover Its wings can beat the air like Jonathan seagull Undauntingly Life has many a folds Some remain unscreened and untold And life glitters like gold Verses can't explain it all Words fall short In the silent valley of hearts although a river overflows. You have said once Stories are trivialities But life alone is tranquil and beautiful.
