Once Upon A Time

(Image Source: http://www.valentinewallpapers.in)

Once upon a time,
While savoring the lime,
On a hot sunny day,
I met her on the way.

Sir, I am lost,
A wrong lane perhaps I crossed,
Oh, am already so late,
Please have mercy on my state.

She was beautiful, eyes too pretty,
My heart was lost, and I tried being witty,
No worry ma'am, with Green Speck around,
You don't need to utter a despairing sound.

That's so nice of you, Mr Speck,
But, time is limited, please do check,
New to this land, I got to visit the Center,
A business of mine, that I need to hurriedly enter.

That's not too far, dear,
When I am there, do not fear,
I started my bike, with the lady riding pillion,
So lucky I was, she was one in a million.

Off we rode, challenging the wind,
My mind immersed in her thoughts, totally pinned,
Fragrance of rose filled my world,
The love hiding within, now totally unfurled.

We reached the Center, a busy place it was,
She thanked, and I heard a thousand applause,
Come in with me, she said,
I followed her lead happily, as she walked ahead.

Among the crowds, we solved the maze,
But what I saw, and heard, left me dazed,
Meet my husband, she pointed to a man,
Hey thanks for helping her, he came ahead with a beer can.

A dream broke, 'twas all in vain,
The stupid heart, so terribly insane,
Smiling back,I bid farewell,
Hoping for a perfect love tale.
