DAYS AFTER-25

At last
We met after long 
At the same place where 
We used to meet every winter 

The pandemic separated hearts
Beating for each other 
For a substantial period 
But it could not put an end to the bonding, 
The craving that precisely defines our
 Relationship for thirty six years

The joy was smiling in each face 
The eyes were dancing in ecstasy 
Like the waves of an ocean 
Mind going back to the dreamy days
Where the journey began 
To find a place under the sun 
Before thirty-six years in the garden of Eden

The venue cast its magic spell
Each became dancing rivulets 
Men and women in the late fifties
Became young once again.
Hugging each other 
Forgot themselves 
Their status and identity 
And the same unalloyed smile and gestures
That eluded us for thirty-six years 
Bounced back with renewed vigour 
Life became sheer poetry 
A peg of red wine once more

Time stood standstill
To witness the moment 
The moment of meeting of hearts 
Celebration of minds 
In the garden of roses 
The paradise on the mortal plane 

It was enough 
To rejuvenate the young minds 
Inhabiting old bodies
And to keep the man in the sixty on the go
To look forward to life 
And its spellbinding beauties once more
