! Love Birds Poem by Vidyadhar Durgekar

Every minute was a memorable dream,
While leading the life of lovable theme,
Like Romeo Juliet and others we have seen,
Leaving behind society and what it feels;

It was the wonderful days of teens,
Both of them wearing faded jeans,
Couched in a bogie of a local train,
Like sparrows perched on a mountain;

Chatting words only they seem to have known,
Love and lover only they spoke to mean,
World beyond did not exist, what it seemed,
Laughing & giggling in a melancholic tune;

Boy with a sharp cut English mustache,
Which he twists and turns as a pride,
Matching her black lusher eye lash,
Like a newly wed groom and a bride;

Hand in hand stroking each other,
Like the love birds pecking feather,
With more of love and bit of anger,
Both busy not worried of any passenger;

Kissing on the cheek praises the lover,
Not seen any, than you before,
Beautiful as you are, more and more,
Blushing cheek changes the colour,
Like the pink rose during spring weather

Girl says ‘You are very handsome’
Like the grandson of Charles Bronson,
Boy the hero, floating on cloud nine,
Boasts ‘People say, I look like one’

Romeo reciprocates ‘You are a Nightingale’
Voice rebounding over hills and vales,
She feels he is her only male,
To seek all the life’s romantic zeal,

These moments are short and sweet,
Under the lovers words of romantic treat,
Couched on a trains corner seat,
Immersed in the rhythm of heart beat,

The styled eye brow shaped with a brush stroke,
Challenging the lover with a mischief mock,
That is what I mean, Hold me if you can,
Forever in your arms like a macho man,

Her black strands of droopy frontline hair,
Dancing in the waves of the passing air,
Taunting him, ‘you know not, my love fever’,
I will live to love you forever;

Watching them in celestial dreams together,
Parting the company as a co passenger,
Wishing them to live happily ever,
Loving each other the same way forever,
