At first Sight
At First Sight
Once upon a time in a far far West
A prince of foolsland to his quest
Recalling the myths he heard once
Woke up to begin an unknown race
With a deep sea of vast, vast curiosity
A sword, horse and map for his vanity
A naive full of heroic superstitious dreams
Ran off to reveal to the mystery of things
Through the woods, chirping and howls
Wilderness he thinks is not just all fowls
Though smile is a pretext for emotions to hide
How sorrow and happiness go side by side ?
Small muddy huts with everyone busy
Happy and sad faces all taking it easy
With dark eyes she smiled sparking a light
His universe went blank at her first sight.
About this poem
Life can be so interesting if we could take risks and get entertained with adventures. 'The Prince' was not aware that world outside his castle was so diverse, taking his level of curiosity to a different height.
