Love Lines   

 

A mild summer day

The sun rolled

Under thin clouds

The wind unambitious

Yawned

 

Newly acquainted

They sat under a banyan tree

First date

Not much to say

 

Conversed superficially

Silent moments

She smiled shyly

He handed her roses

 

Her eyes as deep oceans

Her lips as ripe cherries

Charmed him irresistibly

Staring at her

He forgot love lines

He’d rehearsed
