44. IMMORTAL LOVERS 

As long as we smile; I promise you that we will both smile together; profoundly admiring the glory of the stupendously brilliant Sun,

As long as we play; I promise you that we will both play together; poking each other innocuously in the tender ribs,

As long as we eat; I promise you that we will both eat meals together; masticating a basket replete with succulent cherries with gay abandon and unprecedented relish,

As long as we rest; I promise you that we will both rest together; entwining our arms invincibly and stare unrelentingly at the pearly island of Moon,

As long as we run; I promise you that we will both run together; exuberantly galloping through the verdant countryside; voraciously exploring and discovering the

unfathomably colossal Natural life,

As long as we punch; I promise you that we will both punch together; caressing silken draughts of air with tons of vibrant energy; exhilarating in the aisles of

uncanny excitement,

As long as we write; I promise you that we will both write together; flooding page after page with the essence of whatever we had sagaciously imbibed and gathered on the trajectory of this planet,

As long as we sing; I promise you that we will both sing together; permeating the gloomy ambience; with the enthrallingly buoyant cadence in our voice,

As long as we dance; I promise you that we will both dance together; violently gyrating our bodies in ecstatic jubilation to the hidden tunes that lingered in the air,

As long as we study; I promise you that we will both study together; memorize cumbersome stanzas; solve mind boggling enigmas of routine life; with our minds

focused single focusedly to achieve our sole mission,

As long as we cry; I promise you that we will both cry together; mutually sharing the unsurpassable agony that uncouthly besieged our souls,

As long as we scream; I promise you that we will both scream together; inundating the perennially still ambience with the stringent roar that fulminated in our throats,

As long as we teach; I promise you that we will both teach together; unequivocally propagating the religion of humanity in whomsoever we encountered in the

tenure of our lives,

As long as we yawn; I promise you that we will both yawn together; lazily languish in the realms of surreal fantasy till the first rays of ethereal dawn furtively crept up from the sky,

As long as we lick; I promise you that we will both lick together; greedily slurping sparkling streams of water from the boundlessly deep well,

As long as we climb; I promise you that we will both climb together; assiduously clamber up the treacherous slopes with our bodies leaning stunningly close to

each other; and the resplendent festoon of stars maneuvering us towards the incomprehensibly towering summits,

As long as we dream; I promise you that we will both dream together; fantasize the most bizarre possible of things ever perceived on this planet; philander every

second into a garden overwhelmed with poignantly scented roses,

As long as we joke; I promise you that we will both joke together; erupting into a volley of tangy laughter which voluptuously struck the air,

As long as we breathe; I promise you that we will both breathe together; inhale blissful wind; incessantly deluging our lungs with all the fresh breath that we

could salvage from the atmosphere,

And as long as we take birth on this soil; I promise you that we will both take birth together; continue to exist as immortal lovers not only in this birth; but for many more births together .
