At the temple steps, <br />STOOd a beautiful girl, <br />dusky skin and black eyes, <br />selling red roses and lillies white, <br />came a white man galloping at a horse back, <br />dressed in red and white, <br />adorned with armour shining, <br />as he rode his golden hair swayed, <br />his blue eyes on the damsel, <br />with a smile he took all her roses and lilies white, <br />amazed she stood, still gazed, <br />galloped fast he went throwing a smile, desperate they were at night, <br />both came at the temple steps before the sun rise, <br />the love story began at the temple steps, <br />they met again and again to meet again <br />and promise never to part, <br />but the world is not so wise <br />many eyebrows were raised, <br />in the middle night the natives walked to assail, <br />holding firetourches with arrant minds <br />broke the house of the white, <br />killed him brutally ablaze, <br />alarmed with the death of beloved, <br />the girl jumped in the village well, <br />the saga of love story did not end, <br />they met again as soulmates in rebirth, <br />in the eyes of god their love was true, <br />they wondered if they eachother knew, <br />the girl still scared o f fire, <br />the man still loved the fragrance of flowers.<br /><br />renu Vig sharma sharma<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lovestory-of-a-white-man-and-a-brown-woman/
