One Heart Becoming Two
This is a Poem about Divorce
What has happened
to the poison of her charm?
He seems immune to its deadly strikes
How sudden
has the sparks of his passion disappeared.
She could barely blink
to the aroma of his sweet words
One heart now becoming two
as the sand dunes of the desert hide one
while the other
is swallowed by the creatures of the Oceans
making the lovers
less compassionate than a dead log.
An attempted kiss
becomes a factory of irritation
and a sensual gaze
ends up in sarcasm and scorn.
The joy of the home is liquidated
sweet emotions arrested
and taken to a place of no return.
Can you imagine
how love could be false?
While trust goes up yonder?
Making truths incomprehensible?
As reality sits and ponder?
The more one tries
the more the other disagree.
Selfishness abound
taking the calamity to a disastrous degree
and subjecting all positives to its under
leaving happiness dislocated
with nothing to render.
Every action then becomes a blunder
and even nature gets disappointed and angry
on such a romance once with a high pedigree.
An institution nourished to fullness
has gone completely empty and hungry
as it begs for the mercy of asunder.
