My Inamorata

We were on a picnic. Way home, we had to cross Sawarnarekha. I saw the other buddies crossing a shallow offshoot. In an obfuscated state, i took the other option; i thought that's an easy route, climbing a sand dune and then swimming a narrow but deep channel. Heavens! I know no swimming!

I climbed on to the dune and was startled to see what lay next. It was a scene i'll never forget. I saw my inamorata. She was enjoying a bath surrounded by a number of women companions. The scene reminded me of movies featuring princesses being consorted by a number of maids. I got to see Her bare back. The blond skin dazzled me for a moment. I made sure not to fall in her line of sight. I moved into the water. It wasn't deep. But as i proceeded the depth increased. Even now, i am surprised about my surprised state of getting drowned. I know not whether the pearly gate was getting opened or the hell's bells were ringing, but at my last hours i saw Her nigh to me. Her green eyes lured me like a Naiad. It seemed to me as if She's playing with me, like that cat which plays with a mouse before brutally making it its meal.

My eyes started to close; I felt the ethereal life-giving kiss. A kiss that was greater than life. I rose with life like a Snowbell. I opened my eyes only to see Her face reversed above me. She turned the death bed into the sand bed of Sawarnarekha.

Sweetheart, I will be living the rest of my life with just this sweet phantasmagoria!
