River and I

I sat there, on an ancient bench
Gazing at an ancient river
We struck a chord and started our talk
About his flow and his heart


He was born when the sun beams kissed
The snowy cheeks of his sleeping mom
A little hop here and a mighty splash there
The child transformed to a handsome youth


The river flowed on, and see he did
Lonely teardrops and dancing hearts
Many a times he fell in love
At times with mermaids, at times with swans


He was the river and he couldn’t keep
Their oozing love in his flowing heart
He was lonely as he couldn’t find
One little heart which could contain his love


On a sparkling day filled with light
He saw her form and her dreamy eyes
Taken aback he froze in fear
Seeing the depth and warmth of her soul


She was the sea and she saw his pain
She took him in with al his flaws
Loosing his fear he embraced her
And his fluid heart throbbed in her endless soul


He died there in her arms
Only to live an endless life
Every moment he is born
He lives his youth and then sleeps in her soul


Giving me his ancient smile
The river flowed on leaving me on shore
I thought of my life and I thought of you
And I became the river and you the sea
