Ruptured and Repaired

Marriage turning into a menace, the couple craved for a riddance.
Through a divorce, finally got freed of their alliance. 
Months passed on without any occurrence.
Slowly, into their solitary lives began to creep silence. 

      The songs they heard, no more had any cadence.
      The sunsets, they watched didn't have any brilliance.
      Deep down, they felt deep annoyance, 
      And longed to seek shelter in each other for deliverance.
                                              
It was then that they met at a function by coincidence.
Though a chance meeting, it turned out to be of great relevance.
In a tone of deep regret she told, she was all repentance.
Both felt, most of their notions on marriage were sheer nonsense.

        They, henceforth decided to live together in mutual acceptance,
        Seeking shelter in each other in every turn of life with consonance.
        That night with the stars peeping and all anxiety kept in abeyance,
        They embraced each other, consummating their joyous confluence!

Heartiest congratulations, Valsa on your win in this contest with a brilliiant inspirational monorhyme poem with marriage turning sour, but then repaired. Marriage is not always a bed of roses. But one needs to think well and not take rash decisions, Once bitten, twice shy. It is obvious that the couple would think twice henceforth. Wish you a pleasant end of week.

Sometimes we get wise before too old. The important thing is, we get there before we leave here. Love is not always well rounded, often square, triangle, and hex all that. Less important the geometry of where we have been than where we are at. Together again is the best summation. Intelligent, lovely poem my friend.
