Storms

In the fascinating life journey of a couple When clouds darken in their midst all of a sudden With murky grey shades in their relation purple Many a storms begin to twirl their souls ‘n burden. Clouds of hatred billow inside them both, Nights are full of creaking noises ‘n uproar Howling winds spread in hearts taunt ‘n loath Respect is tarred ‘n no rapport is attempted to fore. Startled winds of ego and jealousy begin to roll Through enraged corners of mind and heart Gales of dominance drive faster uncontrol Thunder of anger spooks their animal spirits apart. When their egos remain unbent and both do not yield They tear each other unresent and blow off their tops Relations start to break and love gets cartwheeled Pitted against the perpetuating gale of hatred it pops. Bolts of lightning rip their worlds poles apart Even gods seem furious and trigger the landslides Reverberating with ire, the unsettled hearts begin to smart Drowned in their desperation they lie low in their glides. After the brutal dazzle, a torrent of tears beat down their cheeks Drowning their muddied worlds in sorrow and gloom Flooded, they somehow lose energy to add more obliques Storm when it weakens later, it gives them some legroom. After clouds poured empty, they let open up the sky To both it dawns it would be silly to ignore nature’s reprieve They pull up themselves and decide to make another try With whatever bits and pieces left after the storm to retrieve It is easier to get over nature’s storms of wind and rain But difficult to revive sunshine of relations once sullied Not easy to repair vivid scars of the stormed souls that remain Hope and renewed love of twain may get differences buried.
