'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 "
