Either Sides Of The Dunes

* *In the terrain of a barren forest In the forlorn of a lost ship In the godforsaken-ness of fate In the inhospitality of people Either sides of the dunes There walks Majnun, in rugged clothes There sings Meera, in wedded bliss Both - immersed in the dreams of LOVEz Both delicate, both innocent Both pure, both true Both fresh - like budding blooms Both living in harmony with Nature Waiting for Krishna's and Layla's arrival Knowing their BELOVEDz will come Both - still intoxicated in LOVE Half closed, drowsy eyes, Blurred vision, drunkard steps They walk, dance, sing and fall Awaiting their LOVERz call Don't show complete callousness Do not wake these LOVERz at all From their disconsolate state of being Let a dust-storm or lash of rain Shake their heart and being As if Krishna and Layla Have shaken their soul awake Startled at the LOVER'z touch Meera and Majnun look around, Astonished & glancing everywhere Searching to find their LOVERz "Where is Krishna? Where is Layla?" They run wild - deliriously mad Until they find a mirage & a silhouette In the blank space of air around them There they rest - sit and talk They laugh and chat in LOVE Only we realize and know that There is no one around them Yet only they can see their LOVERz Only they can feel their BELOVEDz To play a colorful game of LOVE Let Krishna give Meera a kiss Let Meera twirl one more round Let Layla peck Majnun cheeks Let Majnun sing one more new ballad Thus till date they are remembered As tragedy folk-lore's LOVE Our tragic LOVERz-BELOVEDz Our Meera-Majnun All these happens on Either sides of the dunes* *
