Poetry
Our Space in Time
Akshay Kripalani
They say true love is forever
Like the Lovers of Valdaro
In each other's hands in life
In death and tomorrow
Six millenia passed
Still their hands twined together
Bound by their sacred love
In soul and bone forever
They say true love isn't real
That the world is barren and cold
That warmth and affection is naught
But a myth made by the old
That time and tide wear all out
Till there's nothing left to erode
That our love is false
And only a load on our soul
But why worry about the then,
And the nature of time?
For if you would love me for a moment
The world would be mine
