The Adonis and his tome......... On Siddharth Shanghvi
Had the lovers not possessed such skill and panache
Had their love, written about in interminable paragraphs, been
A bit flawed, a bit imperfect…..
Had the characters- the heroine, her man, her cousin, been
A little layman-like
And not demigods, astounding beyond imagination
Had I been a bit less dreamy,
A bit more admirer of magic realism A bit well, less addicted to poe
Then the Adonis would have bowled me over!

Hi Arunima,
It seems there is no word as 'vesperine.' It's vespertine. Or was it intentional?

Thanx for dropping by and letting me know how you feel.
The comment of mine in Diana's post was just a part of the pun,no offenses meant coz I am somebody who deeply thrives,believes,trusts,gives (and is in) true love.
Okay ??
And I'm a complete fan of Keats and Donne.So dont get me wrong.You can check out my posts "Of all thats beautiful and rare" and "Love" to get my stance.
