Our Love vis a vis Time
|
Aribam Surjeet Sharma
My beloved's face was wreathed in lovely smiles,
As she looked at me, getting ready for a photo.
I, with a camera, was preparing to take the photo.
In a background of blazing orange sunset,
The sun slowly sinking behind the western hills.
In this background, hers was an angelic beauty
Which I captured, clicking the camera.
Then, an uneasy thought sprang up in my mind,
When I saw the sun gradually sinking
A scene reminding me of something fearful
The ruthless march of the juggernaut of time
That will scrunch her beauty under its wheels.
But, it wasn't long before a sweet realization
Evaporated the dreadful thought into thin air.
Yes, time has got the power to fade her beauty
But, it won't be able to fade the love between us.
Each time it goes under its crushing wheels,
Each time it will bounce back like springy grass.
