He kept the seine disguised
under his pretentious smile,
for he desired to trap her
in his precarious rife
and she disguised
in her innocuous smile,
played along
but until eternity kept him deprived

Thank you so much, Preksha. Always appreciate your presence. How is school going
Much pleasure! 🌸
Right now, school is off. It’s summer break. And the council for board examinations has just released the results for ICSE students, which includes my Tenth board results too.
By the way, from which state you belong in India?
You are a magician with words
Cool. Good for you. So let me guess are you from Carmel school 😊. I am from Assam and I have family in Delhi. This weekend I am coming to India. Will be Delhi, Chennai and Madurai. Where are you from
You are so kind. Feel humbled coming from a great poet like you
Yes, I’m a Carmelite, indeed.
I live in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. 😁
You are TOO kind.
When I was in college I used to teach in Carmel for fun. I have taught computer sciences. So I know Carmel very well. No wonder your English is so good. So, what subject are you pursuing further in your studies.
I mean it my friend 🌸🌸
Thank you
🌸🌸
That’s great to know that you were a teacher, here, in India.
I am opting for Mathematics for further studies in my eleventh grade. 😁
Good for you. If you can do maths you can solve any world problem 🌸😊
Haha!😁 Thank you! 💥
My absolute pleasure
Seems familiar ish.
You’ve got an amazing way with words Shantanu!😊🌸
Thanks so much dear Shivani. Much appreciate it 💕
The title itself reminds me of an American Movie… Your your words are beautifully penned, so very pretentious, yet mysterious bitten by love. This seems to be like a game of battleship. More like concerns, many words unspoken. Another outstanding Poem.
I knew you had to be a teacher, that is great. I had no Idea you were from India.
Thanks so much my dear friend. Loved your words and thoughts
Thank you. I used to love teaching. Yes, I am from India. Came to the US in 2004 🌸😊
I have India Ancestry, my Grandfather on my Dads sides was from India. He never knew him, neither did we.
Oh wow. That is so amazing to know.
Yeah, Your telling me, Very amazing!
You are very welcome indeed dear friend 🌸😊
🌸😊
Lovely! 💕
Thanks so much. I so appreciate it 💕
💗Always a pleasure!

Two great players at play. A dual of love written in a brilliant way
