The River

The river nearby my city 

Flows as in charity, 

Without indulging both the banks 

Sometimes it scares people with its pranks. 

Folktales says about that river 

In the far past he was a man clever, 

Upon a time he fallen in love 

Like carrying messages always do a dove, 

The girl from a higher tradition 

Was unable to stand with his expectation, 

One day he jumped off a bridge across a river 

Without anyone noticing him gone forever, 

After sometime he rose like a phoenix 

Became a river and started to flow scenic.
