    In India

    In India: 36 Lines

    A man in his travels hopped onto one of the hottest places on earth,
    Looking for love, but more to find rebirth,
    Couldn't believe the number and beauty in women,
    Made him feel like he really wasn't livin,
    Goes to the Taj Mahal, revels in its design,
    Looks for restaurants where he can wine and dine,

    Encounters a woman who catches his eye,
    Knows if he acts right, this wont be his last goodbye,
    Smiles and in his best Hindu he speaks to her,
    Hoping he may have a chance to go further,
    She smiles and knows he is foreign born,
    And knows within that if he's kind shell be torn,

    Not sure what to do, She shies him away,
    But he is not distracted or left in dismay,
    He pursues, for he knows he can succeed,
    He keeps trying, as if it were his motto, his creed,
    He remembers a few words that help his cause,
    And says these things In Hindu words without pause,

    "Teach me, your language, your culture, just a little bit if you dare,
    I promise in return it's me you'll come to care,"

    "
    Strong words from a man who is from another part of the earth,
    And says that now this place is his turf,"

    "Well it is not manifest destiny, I in truth, desire you,
    And feel that it is worth it to learn all I can about you,
    Your food, your culture, your dance, your flair,
    Your grace and beauty as it touches the air,
    But my Hindu is limited as you can clearly see,
    And you have nothing to lose and everything to be,
    So what say you in this gentleman's request,
    Care to take a chance and show me your best?"

    She smiles and says,
    "I like your style persistent one.
    I'll take a chance and see if you can be the one,
    Not necessarily for marriage, though here it is the custom,
    STOP LOOKING AT MY CHEST!, I know that I'm buxom,
    There's a restaurant down the street, they serve good curry,
    Well, come on now, we got to move in a hurry."

    This is very well written. I sure wish I knew if they stayed together or not though. LOL You left me hanging. A ten from me. :) Kool

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
