Letter to the New Age Romantic


Frivolous, Fake,

Frippery Love

What happened to the feelings

That were communicated thru' a Dove?


The fluttering of the eyelashes

The running around trees

The overdose of chivalry

What happened to all of these?


The knights in shining armour

v/s. the goons in deadly black

Prince Charming travelling miles across

To bring his Princess back



The subtle hints of romance

All blushing pink and shy

The eternal joy of togetherness

The heart wrenching goodbye



Snap back into the present

And we're back to Line 1

Frivolous, Fake, Frippery Love

Yours sincerely, Lots of Love

- The Dove

Ah the dove,
the ancient Twitter of the loved,

If them were yet to be,
my home,
Would be a dove assembly.

The present day love is a frivolous not fake,
but its durations is that of a lovely chocolate cake,

The eyelashes are pruned in a parlour,
all that flutters is the mind's radar,

Chivalry has trickled down to paying rickshaw fares,
If papa says no-
all you dare to do is stare,

The armour of the Knight fits tight,
the Goons are the flavour of the night,

The blushing, the pink all that is still there,
If only it had been of more substance than a flare,

It frippery and slippery,
But my heart's still in symphony,

Coz there may be no Dove,

but is somewhere out there,

Breathes - My Love.. :)

You sound like a person who has been at the receiving end of a 'Not worthy of remembering' romantic affair.. :P

In this technically advanced world
its essence is lost.., so d dove’s alarmed
d messenger is substituted
bt d divinity & purity of Love is unharmed !!

d flattering, d blushin & d chivalry
All of these haven’t quite vanished
bt d material love & d fake affairs
due to such cases d transparency has been tarnished !!

The present aint dat bad
Tho d Perfect Prince Charmin is Hard to Find
Runnin around trees is certainly frivolous
Bt d true love is definitely Tender & divine !!

Haha! Luv d stream of comments... Kindly note, dis was supposed to be a funny take on love by a dove and NOT a tale of a disillusioned romantic...
Fab rhymes by Krish n Ani though! :D
