Perspiration dripping
Breathing heavily
His legs tiring
He was using
Full energy
In pulling the weight
Of heavy and wealthy
For the sake of
Two little meals
For him and his family
He was a poor
Rickshaw driver
With no other means
No other choice
Life to him was an
Unpleasant necessity

On the face
Eyes gleaming
Longing to see her desire
Fulfilled
She sat in the window
Looking at the street
Waiting for him to arrive
Arms of the clock
Kept moving
Her desire
Remained starving
Color of the face
Kept changing
Pink became yellow
In no time
Eyes moved
From street to the clock
Now and then
Afternoon went
And evening arrived
No sign of
Her love to be seen
Eyes became wet
Tears started flowing
One more day
Had left her crying
Waiting for him
Had become
Her only pastime

Queer wave of liking crept
In their hearts
Love bud sprouted
Blossomed into the tree of
Togetherness
Living together
Was now the top most task
Marrying each other
Became the goal
Everything else put on hold
Overcoming all resistance
They married each other
Happiness was not to last
Together they met
With an accident
Only to die
Bodies turned into ashes
Souls left for heaven
The question remains
Life lost the battle
Or
Love achieved the goal

I was ten she was eight
She was my classmate
Her innocence
Neat dress, Suave looks
Soft smile
Simple and elegant manners
Attracted me
My heart was not
What it used to be
The heart beats increased
Face blushed
Whenever I saw
Or talked to her
I could not understand
Why and what it was?
I told my mother
About The changes I felt
My mother replied
You are as innocent
As she is
Love for her
Has erupted in your heart
Something nobody can stop
Falling in love is natural
You are the lucky one
Falling for someone
Earlier than others
