This story told
Sublime as dreams
The tale unfolds

                     A heart of mischief
                     A man of rules
                     Defying the norms
                Not found ranking in fools

As bright as the day
Seductively dark as the night
The lady's guarded heart
Was worth the fight

                   Lives intervined intricate
               Two silken strands of rope
                  Destiny's irrfutable call?
            Or a blossoming love's hope?

An ageless melody
Souls enclosed in a time-wrap
The beauty of ever flowing love
A hidden treasure without a map

                 The secret laid bare
                  In between yet far apart
                 The message sent between the  lines
                  Be forever young at heart
