Rose Of Roman Times

By Deeksha Agrawal

Constantly living a life of purpose, with forced smiles

daydreaming of elixir

On a lengthy,

bumpy ride in the city I do not want promises

of a talented wordsmith

Just a kind stranger

who would be beside me on an adventurous journey from point A to point B

Looking out for me with a sense of concern

even when I didn't ask for it And when I have to

let go of his hand

to exit at my station,

I wish I want to look back because his protection

was aligned with universal love
