The Betrayal



The endearing smile
Caught on for a long while,
His eyes looked for the face
Each day through light & haze,
The large doe eyes,
The lowered eyelids, that were too shy
To look straight,
At strangers ahead .
Then one day their eyes locked
In a gaze , as the clock tick tocked,
When  time stood still & emotions rocked
And finally love knocked!

She was weary of the world around &scared,
He was bold enough to ward off all who dared,
To nullify their feelings
Or stop their eyes from dreaming,
Of creating their own beautiful world,
Full of love, care,both in each others arms curled.
Both lost in each other and their dreams,
Couldn't see nor hear the enemies scream,
In unison against their union,
Stealthily come with ill thoughts against their communion.

Brandishing swords and knives
They tried to separate them in a forceful strife,
They held onto each other ,
Not ready to surrender
To the enemies of love &humanity,
Entwined into each other,not scared of the insanity.
They looked into each other's eyes as the sword went in,
They smiled at each other mocking the traitors,breaking into a grin.
The swords & knives went in and came out,
Though in pain ,not a sigh was let out,
The embrace tightened,
The lights lightened,
Two beautiful lives were left ,to bleed to death,
As the safe-keepers of the society,cut short their breath.

Alas as their dreams shattered !
Their vision slowly blurred ,
Their breath stopped
And nothing was then heard,
Two in love brought to a gory end,
As they didn't give in,nor bend
To pressures and fears,
To blackmails & tears ,
For their love's sake
That was for real & never fake.

Their fault -was merely falling in love
Not giving into societal norms, they drove
Away ,to create a loving world where no hatred prevailed
And here in each other's blood they lay embraced !!
