Platonic Love Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

They were of on ekind,
Dreaming of nuptial pleasures,
Not able to talk of it,
Not even able to speak
To each other, since words
Were caught in the throat,
But smiled at each other,
Thinking of ending up
In each other's arms,
Kisssing. caressing,
shying away from expressing
The feelings they had
Secretly in their minds,
Making meaning of gesticulations,
Occassional winks,
They lived a life
Of Platonic love,
Till they were married off
By the parents, as per
The custom of south east,
Of the world, where
Many a pair enjoyed
Pre marital and extra marital
Bliss of thier own chances.
