A Blue Lake of Love

A blue lake of love 
Looks surreal with green backdrop 
The thistle flowers dance with wind 
While flora find the vibes of romance
Let's sail our boat of crush and flirt 
And see how far we can go with wind
I'll try to win your heart, you try to stop
I'll lose in your eyes, you try to evade it 
I'll steal your smiles, you try blankface
I'll glorify your beauty, you try not to fall
You don't have to try anything for me 
I've already fallen in dreams about you 
We can send our poetries into the sky 
Let the wind take them to new shores
While you decide the fate of our future

Another Life?


 

The tales of second life 

With impeccable memory of the past 

Often get the curious media coverage 

I wonder if it is a mental ability to know 

About the life of another person in detail

Is it a sheer coincidence of guess getting a match?

Many a day I tried to recollect my past life

Imagined me in different eras and countries

I think  I never had a previous life

I do not think I will have another life 

I never tried the virtual second life 

Nor I will try the metaverse 

If I have another life 

I would love to be a nomad 

I would love to travel and write 

The stories that are beyond me now

I hope I won't go through another love

I hope I won't go through another breakup 

I want to be a wanderer in search of glimpses 

Of  the sceneries that are surreal in the world 

And experience the life of being a human  in that modern era 

But I fear, I might end up in a colony on Mars or some other planet 

As a cyborg, clone, zombie, humanoid, or unknown species of that era

With artificial intelligence, life-enabling gadgets  self-healing and regeneration 

Living among sceneries and experiences beyond my imagination right now 

May be amidst a war with the aliens or the evolved human species'

Without ever experiencing the natural wonders that our earth offer
