Bluff-master

They met over Orkut
Funny way to meet
Carried on over facebook
Got intimate over Tweet

The first date was so-so
He was nervous as hell
She thought he was either shy or arrogant
First time, who can tell

But yes, there was a second
And many many more
They agreed they were different in ways
But the same at their very core

There were soon in courtship
And the city did comply
Beautiful walks and lovely dinners later
She gave an encouraging reply

Flowers were given
Teddy-bears and chocolates too
She showed them to her girl-friends
They drooled with many a Aah and many a Ooh

Undying love was professed
From both parties' side
No one must have ever felt this way before
Their love was like a tsunami in high tide

Their talks got serious
With each passing day
And the M-word crept into conversation
In an unobtrusive way

One day on their way back
From a play of no great caliber
They encountered in a dark alley
A suspicious bloke with what looked like a Sabre

He came at them menacingly
She shrieked her loudest best
And wildly turned her head to lover-boy
Who had fled from the spot with admirable zest

And so their story came to an end
A sorry finish I must say
Coz their love would have definitely endured
Had it not been tested this way

He came at them menacingly
She shrieked her loudest best
And wildly turned her head to lover-boy
Who had fled from the spot with admirable zest

But then she saw a ray of light,
Her lover boy was running towards them with all his might,
His eyes were red seething with rage,
He looked like a seasoned knight, for his age.

He got battered and bruised,
he got smashed and abused,
But his face had a sign of an uneasy calm,
Coz he knew that till he is alive, no one can do his sweetheart any harm.

But Alas! fate had a different take,
He was no match for the slaughtering blade,
His lover saw with an aghast eye,
When his head decapitated and went flying high.

And so their story came to an end
A sorry finish I must say
Coz their love would have definitely endured
Had it not been tested this

Btw, this may smack of cynicism, but really was he that wrong in running away? Are the greatest loves of our lives stronger than our deeply-ingrained survival instincts?

wouldnt that depend on how strong the love is? i mean you cant generalise.

but I will say the poem was spectacularly cynical :)
