An elderly couple
Loving, caring, sharing

Have we ever seen such a spectacle
Especially in a conservative society
Where the old are expected
To be old

As if life will stop
When we cross that threshold
As if the fun stops
When nimbleness disappear

As if love
Has to be hidden
Forbidden

Unconventional
Maybe
Seldom seen
Maybe

That should not be a barrier
For loving couples
Everywhere
To continue loving
Exuberantly
Whole heartedly

Growing old together
The love does not flicker
The love does not fade
Into oblivion

But should get
Stronger
Brighter
Eternal

Mysterious skin

A geek
A favourite
The same baseball game

They're just 8 year olds
With an adult figure
Looming big
In the background

Actions
Reactions

Both bleed

Achingly
Painfully

All is answered years later
But can they come to terms
With that particular demon

The past

Possible Loves

aka Amores Possiveis

Waiting
Waiting for the rain to stop

Others have already met their intended
While you're still waiting

Ten years later
Three scenarios emerge

A conventional marriage
A broken up marriage
A continuous search for marriage
Which is the real experience

Who knows
You know

And the girl who stood you up
On that date
On that rainy night
Knows

No night is too long

Love
Again
The eternal question

When one says
I love you
Is the feeling mutual

Does silent mean you agree
Or do you feel something

Anything

If the love has gone
How do you break off gently
If possible

Now that you find your true love
You can't wait to be together again

With your true love

Despite the odds
You persevere

But all is not what it seems to be
Only later do you realise
What you have done

Your actions
Might be justifiable to you
But it has
Brought unexpected consequences

You have to face the reality
Your love for others
May destroy their lives

So it might be best
Even though
It is ever so painful
To let them go

At least

The love will endure

In you

In your love

The peaceful village
Suddenly finds itself
Face to face with unexpected danger
A marauding gang of trouble makers
On their way to the capital city

The villagers decide
That come what may
They must defend themselves

And
Out of the blue
Literally
Help came

In the form of three modern day countrymen

This is an adventure with an added twist
A show of patriotism
Reality, fantasy
Mixed in a potent brew

Yes, the good guys triumphed

But they had to endure
Trials and tribulations
Obstacles and barriers
Heartaches and pain

A benevolent monarch
Revered
Seems omnipresent
Might be true
Wish it was true
Hope it will always be true
