River and Copper:

Juju is a force to be reckoned with

as timeless as the

Indus River-

Like a current,

rushes through his veins

May our minds meet

He wishes

Brave

He carves-out,

his own livelihood,

becoming an actor in Bollywood.

Years pass,

The boy,

now a man-

His kind-hearted effort;

Has been taken advantage of,

time and time again....

Longing to be loved,

for who,

he is

TRUELY

Dreaming of fatherhood

Dances on his mind

Like toddler shoes,

Keeping time, on his toes

Not tall in stature

BUT

Commands presence,

most certainly!

He does not over shadow,

His love for her

But takes the lead,

around a ellipses of fire.

In her eyes, he envisions

a beautiful future with her.

The two age gracefully,

like patina on a copper roof.

The two met later in life

When they grow elderly

She winces,

with aches and pains;

Her spider vines climbing up, her legs.

Placing her toes,

with her wedding band, in

the mouth of the river

She smiles,

as she remembers back,

on their joyous reception.

Her eyelids grow heavier,

as she closes them for a final time.

A cow appears,

and leads the pair out to pasture

How glorious,

our adventure...

the last words,

the two would ever mouth, another.
