She and he
head
over heals
inseparable,
even for a moment
Cut
to five years later
Its
legalized status
With
two more additions
In
the framed photograph.
Soon,
an incident here
and
an incident there
the
story has come full circle
now,
they can’t see eye to eye
even
for a moment…
The
biggest victims of the fall out
are
the little ones…
frustrations,
disappointments transferred to them
physically
and emotionally
taking
it out on the hapless innocents….
I remember you had written another composition on the same subject -- "We Want You Both".

ReplyDeleteVery touching. Where the fault lies is a lingering question. Will not the
