A busy day, full of din
Bright with glaring winter sun
From it we escaped
For a sweet romantic escapade.
Arm in arm, eye to eye
We gave ourselves to the other
Walking far and further
Matching steps with another.
Lost in a dream
Covered with golden calico
From sunshine between the tufts of leaves
On a lane lined with sleepy trees.
Immersed in the otherness of me
We look at each other and see
A calm boat in a turbulent sea.
A tug, a look, a dreamy smile
Wakes us up to reality
Only because, we are hungry
Munching guavas from a vendor on the roadside
The only break of our promenade.
(Delhi winters…Bright sunlit day …Pusa tree lined walks…a million years ago)
