Romance Portions
A heart stolen, a heart fallen
In the pursuit of a suitor’s suit en route to company
Thought wondrous in warm words of Ellen
Despite purging a loneliness litany
Uttering unspoken pleas
Defending decisions to cut off oxygen
From sarcastic trees
Thought to yield a carcinogen
Slaying possibilities to revive consultations
Meant to pave the way
For options to offer salutations
To romance stakeholders who hold sway
In restoring possibilities to return the love portions
My partner and I deserve
Without any further delay in activating proportions
That serve
To rekindle love flames
We thought dead
In a sea of unsubstantiated claims
That misled
My partner and I
When leaks of stolen data
Seemed to support the lie
No one felt my partner and I could under no circumstances utter
Died a natural death
When evidence to our rescue came
Dispelling the notion of dearth
Of the trust became
Obsolete with my partner's powers
To offer me pardon
In flowers, showers and hours
Enabled my partner and I to abandon
The tough stance she adopted
In the context of misunderstandings that ensued
In the wake of misconceptions that opted
To conflate relevant issues ad tissues that we pursued
To minimize differences
Optimizing essential ideas on which we agreed
To draw inferences
That planted the reconciliation seed
Whose feed
Nourished the trust
That could meet our need
To revive the return of my romance portions without raising any further dust.
