Parted with bitterness

Sunday,25th April 2021

 

The cyclone struck the bank

destroyed everything and sunk

it caused not only the material damage

but devastated the morale of all the ages

 

the days before, we were good lovers

met daily and exchanged flowers

hugged and embraced

danced together and faced flower's fragrance

 

vowed to remain together

with loving sentiments forever

never to separate and never to fight

always to embrace with much of the delight

 

as the cyclone struct with force

we exhausted all our resources

created bitterness and fought like an enemy

we became foe and sacrificed friendly stance

 

he has chosen to go-ahead

without me and read

the different lines and parted

the seeds of mistrust had already started
