Rekindle Your Love Spindle
Work overtime to keep your love alive
When flames flicker
And feelings strive to dive
To drive your love weaker
By dint of neglect
You slowly indulge as less and less care
You offer when you select
Attitudes that in full glare
Betray paucity of empathy
Seen in indifference, sulk and insolence in silence
Through dearth which sympathy
Suffers in reference and preference
For times spent away from the apple of your eye
On whom no quality time you lavish
As her sky
Stumbles cos your wish
Deletes the special place in your heart
Once guaranteed, now in tatters
As in a series of tiny steps you start
To ascribe more significance to matters
In which the apple of your eye features less and less
Until by dint of persistence
A wall of silence and resentment tinged with careless
Abandon throws and grows a distance
Between you and the love you did cherish
In slow gradations it begins to wither
If you initiate no tangible steps to nourish
The love as you dither
Knowing not what
Or why your love cries
As love caught
Up in crises dies
When oxygen no longer fans flames
Essential to rekindle
Enzymes. Claims and blames unleashed on hapless dames
Won’t repair your love spindle
Until you spring into action
To seize the bull by its horns
To return to her satisfactions
Beyond remote phones, risible tones and crank clones.
