A Shining Afterglow

A Shining Afterglow we have rambled together along the Ganges river just you and me gazing at each other we have trodden together the streets of Bombay through narrow tortuous lanes goading each other we have sauntered together along the Delhi boulevard eyeing each other and some of the wonders of the world we have ambled together along the snow-capped hills of Kashmir hand in hand skating down the snowy slopes we have ascended together the steep Tripura hills laid with thorns pulling up each other we have braved together the desert of Arabia strolling side by side under the torrid sky till our throat had run dry we have explored together the Kenyan reserve forest with its wild fauna breezing together with our lips fondling each other we have roamed together in British public parks meandering amidst marvellous alleys of red roses vying with envy at cherry blossoms and inhaled their intoxicating scent we have swum together in the cerulean waters of the Mauritian shores with the setting sun reflecting its pink afterglow on the leisurely undulating waves where we lay in close embrace atop ivory sands. we have for so long shared the same roof during the summer of love and care when the salutary shine of the salubrious sun illumined our lives during the winter of dark despair when woeful wild winds threatened to blow down the façade of our home we have for so long been duty-bound caring for each other since the break of day during the sweet glow of the day at the dim twilight hours during the darkness of night we have for so long seamlessly shared our joys and sorrows our fears and hopes our pains and pleasures our daydreams and nightmares now that the autumn of our life life Is at close let the afterglow of our love linger on and on shining until will last our breath.
