I'M Just Getting Started

The believing man said:
"I wanted to bypass many things then...
My story was solemn and virtuous.
After storytelling came a  momentary pause,
To understand your body, without losing all
And a realization came with a sheer pain
Let us talk together, I’m just getting started!" 

The believing lady said:
“Don’t you have this concept of love?
One body  wounded, sends signals of pain for all ?
Unites one soul, strong and bold 
And in poems and prayers, together we hold! 
Let us talk together, I’m just getting started!”

"Our global charm is minimizing day by day .
Are they not  in  our refrigerated perishable items?
Is it not your TV watching time ?
Or newspaper reading time?"
With a  consoling voice with agreeable options , 
He replied, “Let us talk later, I’m just getting started!”.

Both of their inspiration was in poems,  big and small
She dreamt of  a generation gap mitigation model tirelessly
Through the power of positive tones of poems and  poets.
Yet,  often times both used to  find poets , wandering out there
Jobless, faithless, devoid of energy, passion and emotion
Like a lemon served already in life,  for quite a while, understood
And a funny paradox  is that, I’m just getting started!
