'a Big Twist'

Love's winged to soar Above outlooks and mind's decor And abscond from realism Of life's spectral prism. Love comes in just a glimpse But will desert you in a wing of an eye Leaving you with myriad driblets of tears Yet will spawn a worthwhile smile in your naive face. . . Once there was a beau Caressing his sweetheart with non-pareil passion This took in just a month 4 weeks of superlative blithe and merriment 28 days of cuddling each others heart with warmth 672 hours of thinking each others existence 40,320 minutes of missing those whole-day quixotic moments 2,419,200 seconds of erratic drum-rhythmed throbs of hearts . . .Now, end in no Happy Ending Love fades when not True . . .That's It. The young angelic lady . . . After days of flooded room of tears Tears of her first love sorrow After days of sleepless nights nestled with woe Days of preoccupied mind Seems never-ending blend of pique and aggravation Days of vague murky milieu of pessimism Days of imprisonment in her own world of sackcloth and ashes Now, new radiant effulgent smiling sun greet her a " Good Morning" Then, replied ... " Good morning too my friend Sun, Mourning is now over " She stood up with burning FIRE and zest and value She entered the realm beyond her jail of sadness and distress And face the outside once again ... She went to the park Where left overs of her painful episode in her own "book of love" existed Excising and wiping out all the reminiscent created in lies and equivocal words She met the boy once hurt her . . . Shocked. . " OH MY GOD " Words only came out of her mouth Astonished on what she saw . . . " That BOY? Now, chest bigger than mine, in a watermelon size. . .OMG, A gay! " Approaching to her, her ex-sweetheart said, " Hi sister, can you find me a boyfriend? " ~~~wasted tears ?~~~ " BURLESQUE TWIST "
