Timeless

Timeless..

he was tall and dark
casted shadows as he walked
made people stop and stare

she was young small and innocent
a child of sweet sixteen
played hide and seek with girls her age

it was ages ago, in the 50's
country just got her independence
celebration was every where

he came down south
after learning arts in the north
painting pictures of everything he saw
of everyone he saw
was what he loved most

he was told to share his talent with the younger folk
but no he said, was a loner you see
didnt want to be with girls
thought that  was something wrong and beneath him..

but then he saw her
a child of sweet sixteen
playing hide and seek with girls her age..

he forgot everything and everyone
forgot his rules and principles
went to her father and asked
her hand in marriage..

so they got married
was a marriage of the old and new
of wisdom and innocence
they lived a good many years
had 2 handsome sons.

people said there was no love between them
because he was a man of harsh words
he made her cry with every word he said
but that was his way of showing love..

she cried, but she never left him
was always there for him
she respected him
and that's how she showed her love for him..

In that age of independence
their love was timeless
pure and painful
not rusted with time
their love was timeless.
