An ugly paradox

The weather report announces...the Sahara Dust Plume..

It will make the sky a hue of violet... unusual

Everywhere sickness and death does loom...

And..as people die of hunger, life goes on as usual..

Meetings, deadlines and business goals... that deny gloom..

And, you and me..we romance and kiss as usual..

An ugly paradox

We would...We would make do

On a magic carpet, we would fly..

You, my Alladin..and me..Jasmine

Kiss the clouds...and hug the sky..

Mountain peaks, pole caps.. sceneries fine

And if all these fantasies are but a lie..

Just be there and just be mine...

On a boat for two, floating in dusky twilight...

Dancing to the  gentle waves as they ebb and tide

We can look together at the blue hues of orange light

With a companionship, we cannot hide..

And if all these dreams are quick to flight...

Let it all be, and just sit beside...

On a starry night on a seashore..a beautiful sight

You and me just lie down on the sand ..

Find constellations in mellow moonlight..

To the song on the radio...and it's our favorite band

And if these desires never ever see light..

Just look at today's sky...and  hold my hand

In forests green, and the sound of still crickets

Walk along the trails, the branches touch our shoulders light

Our feet in rhythm rustling leaves, through bushes and thickets

The shade of trees and an occasional silver of light

And if this togetherness  isn't ours..Darn! Crickets!

We will make do with a walk in the neighborhood in streetlight..

Yes, We will make do....as long as we are but together...

Would it be neat?

Like strangers, unfamiliar souls... We shall again be...Wouldn't it be neat?

Wiping our past and future clean....Decades forgotten in an heartbeat

We shall walk apart.. our memories kicked away in the dust of our feet

You...walk away a few steps ahead..Just another face...you see and never meet

Yes, we shall be vagabond souls on a crowded street...

I wonder though...will our eyes betray our souls and our feet...

Will they still exchange a glance...Will our hearts like before skip a beat?

Will we like strangers once again  intuitively meet?

Only to take the same road again to love or will we destiny defeat?

Yes, I often wonder...if we would be strangers again..would we be destiny or will we never meet?
