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.
