Love Story

Source: www.dailyclipart.net

Venus said, ‘It’s been a long time since I heard a good tale’

‘The mortal world, nowadays, looks too pale’

‘There’s little endearment and loads of hatred’

‘I think it’s time, for you to paint their world red’

Cupid replied, ‘Their days of detest will soon fall behind’

‘For my arrows shall instill intimacy and leave them spellbind’

‘The mortals shall rediscover true love’s immortal glory.’

He aimed his arrow at a girl and smiled, ‘I’ll pen a perfect love story’

***

A young girl named Juliet was standing by the street

When her eyes lay on Romeo, her heart skipped a beat

Romeo noticed a girl, whose face twinkled bright

He couldn’t take his eyes off her; boy was it love at first sight

Their first date started with smile and ended with a kiss

Lost in each other’s world, they enjoyed eternal bliss

Their lives were devoid of pain and filled with laughter

And thus Romeo and Juliet lived happily ever after

***

‘This was a love story that could have been’, Cupid exclaimed.

‘Holy Mother, I swear my arrow was skillfully aimed’

‘There was an evil force which out-powered the magic of my arrow’

‘It drained out all the happiness and filled their life with sorrow’

‘Romeo and Juliet never saw each other on the street, as they were hypnotized by an evil shield’

‘They were engrossed in its distraction, and missed the joy which only true love could yield’

‘They were meant to have their happily ever after, but ended up forever alone’

‘Romeo and Juliet never smiled at each other, as they were busy smiling at their mobile phone’
