Betrayal

Waves murmured;
teasing winds caressed her body,
a lone seagull twittered.

Fires erupted;
her tongue explored his mouth,
torpid passions seethed out.

Mountains quivered;
their passionate bodies lay intertwined,
drizzling rains inebriated them.

Tongues wagged;
a man clenched his fists,
acrid anguish inundated him.

Hate brewed;
vile thoughts blurred his mind,
an animal peeped out.

Love died;
thunderous shots punctuated the air,
a deathly silence followed.

Newspapers screamed;
gruesome pictures shocked the city,
he was her husband.
