A Rare Romance
written by: Smruti Ranjan Mohanty
Take back everything I have,
the colourful world, the galaxy of beauties,
the pompous life and glamorous gadgets.
But let me go back to that romantic era,
the era of the primitive savage
where a man was true to himself
and lead a life full and contented.
Take me back to the world of
Gods and Goddesses, ghosts and fairies,
I want to have a romance
with all that I believe
Let me have the mind of a child,
pure and unalloyed free from
pride and prejudice, hatred and jealousy,
I want to live and remain true to me.
Let me have the eyes to see the world
as it is, a touching heart to reciprocate,
and a beautiful mind to feel every bit of it
