Dreams and Reality

Dreams and Reality I met her in the Book-Fair, three days the fair lasted And she was spotted on all days, browsing and buying my books Eyeing me without talking; I could read her mind in her looks As the tip of her lip touched my book cover image. The posted Message on the wall of my heart conveyed her dreams and fixed Them across my mind. So, I took the first step and blasted her diffidence With a gentle smile, getting a charming smile with a girlish confidence. That’s it; with ignited throbs we spent days; she then asked, ”What next?” “A Long Poem in the pipeline and a pulp fiction in printing,” She seemed bewildered. And we finished the day without talking more. The next day, she was more silent, and then asked in haste, “What more?” “A Mock Epic for my taste and a Romantic fiction to make it trending.” I talked about books and more books as she talked with her looks; mere looks! And we parted there, like crooks; realizing- life is more than books and looks!
