On Riverside

ON RIVERSIDE Come My Dear under the shady tree on riverside of Ganges on frolic flow. Sit beside and look at me in glee My glances will sink in your glances to glow. Come My Dear under the azure sky on beautiful bank where the Ganges flow Speak and open your love, don’t feel shy. My eager ears to listen though voice is low. Come My Dear on quiet riverside where glorious gracious river Ganges flow We two lovers to sail on boat ride. Little brittle ripples will dance:I will row. Come My Dear where cooing doves make love on lonely riverbank where the Ganges flow. Cheerful chirping sparrows to observe. Outstanding conflict between cuckoo and crow. Come My Dear on river quay where wonderful Ganges flow, Hesitant crescent Moon to spread beam dim drowsy pale yellow. 08/30/19 Word Count 136 First four stanzas Rhyme scheme abab.....
