I tried to hang in there
Holding on to something
That didn’t even exist
What slipped
through my hands
Felt like a void or a null
But I thought it was all
That I had ever longed for
You claimed all that I wished
Yet owned nothing at all
And I kept looking for dreams
In your sham virtues and douth
But times cannot be facile
And I knew the fall was due
My hands could no more hold
What seemed like a rosy loop
So the leap was bound by fate
And I had no reason to remorse
For to stay was for sure alluring
But I couldn’t be oh so callow.

Oh really! You have already seen quite a bit of India then. Hope to see you when you’re here next. I am based in Rajasthan and it’s a popular tourist attraction in fact. You must pay a visit here whenever you get a chance. 😊

Wow! You are in a beautiful, historic place!! I had planned Rajasthan but unfortunately couldn’t after I became ill (4-5 days) with the “want to eat everything in sight” mentality that a Westerner is cautioned against! Oh but the food … street food and pani puri! Yum! 😍 Yes …. next time dear lady!

Can’t believe you liked all the street food and especially pani puri. 😂 Most tourists simply abhore them owing to hygiene issues as well as because those stuffs are usually quite spicy. But great that you enjoyed them. 😀
Yes, Rajasthan is beautiful. I have been here since past about 15 years now. Although I am from Uttarakhand, the northern state of India, which in contrast to Rajasthan is a hilly state amidst the Himalayas and can get extremely cold during winters. My family is still there and I often visit them. So, hope to see you in either of the places whenever you’re in India next. 😁
