Mistress and Her True Love
He was striken with sudden illness
Had been taken to the hospital
For immediate diagnose
And extract reason for the cause;
As he jumped down from the car ..
To embrace him she ran
May be he wanted to convey something
But her vision was blurred with love tears
She failed to understand his behavior
She grasped him tight
Swung him on her arms
Gazed at his red eyes
Sprinkled kisses on his cute mug
Irresistable to her love
He started licking her face
Drenching her with saliva
Leaving his diseased stench
Feeling something strange & unusual ..
She then looked for the driver
Who was seated in the car
Motionless with fear
Just uttered vaguely
"The dog is in the final stage of Rabies
He would die anytime with seizures
Now his touch spreads virus
And we are in danger too"..
Her heart cracked with the news
She didn't wish to lose her love
Who was her only companion
After everyone had discarded her
He inflicted pain by his magical touch..!!
The driver hurried away for a vaccination
But she, the mistress sat sealed to her pet
Remained housebound waiting ..
For death to swallow them together...
