Two by two they came
up the ramp of a fleeting life
the bitterly disappointed
the blissfully burdened
the ardently amorous
fingers entwined, twisted to intricate puzzle form
some with arms swinging with metronome unison
without touch
others looking behind with an uncertain air
halting momentarily
with slight domino sway
We stand on the pier
contemplating
“Should we pack anything?”
you ask
“No, we have all we need”
Then slowly up the gangway
leaving our wide eyed unicorn
motionless on the shore
Leaving all the misunderstandings, and disappointments, and all those things which doesn’t exist, moving on towards life.
That’s how I perceived it, correct me if I am wrong.
I loved it yet again ❤️

Absolutely! And taking a chance that all you need is yourself, and one other to complement you. The unicorn left behind symbolizes unrealistic expectations though. Although I love unicorns! Thanks dear Priya ❣️❣️

I was listening to music while reading your poetry on my phone, and even my most favourite pieces of music couldn’t sound as musical as your rhymes so I had to turn it off ❤

Can you imagine how these melodious words cascaded over me as I went about by day’s work? To imagine you there, allowing my writing to distract you from the music you enjoy …. you pay me the greatest compliments my dear friend and I am both overwhelmed and filled with happiness to read such heartfelt comments ❤
