19. “Dense Forest”

19. “Dense Forest”

(…To be continued…)

Day by day, unaware, the moments slipped away,
One fine day, all friends went to Dense Forest to stray.

They met face to face, yet no words were said,
Silent hearts carried feelings they never spread.

Under the shadow of their quiet gaze,
Everyone turned back, lost in that haze.

Two hearts speaking softly
though their lips stayed lonely.

Within the forest’s gentle shade,
a homely warmth would stay, cold air,
the smell of clay-cup tea flowed free,
Soft sandwiches, spicy scents, floated there..

Walking along, tea cups held tight in hand,
Green paths glowing all around,
they wandered without care.
Sometimes they looked at each other,
sometimes trees would gleam,
like part of a shared dream.

Suddenly, the sky sent a secret sign,
Spring’s tender drizzle fell,
drawing them into its rhyme.

Running together, they hid in Dense Forest’s vines,
The sky wrapped itself in monsoon signs.

What happened next
was already written by fate’s own pen,
That moment slowly settled in their eyes…
forever there to shine ✨
