A free verse poetry on eternal love. |
Once there was a dreary flower Weary and sad without the power To face others around the pond Who constantly looked at it with a scorn No bee ever came near the flower All thought its nectar to be sour It just stood there all alone. From the world as if torn Until one day came a handsome bee The sadness in its eyes he did not see He came straight for its nectar As his eyes sparked with cheer and laughter Overjoyed the flower bloomed All its surroundings got perfumed ‘I love this nectar’ announced the bee It’s no doubt the sweetest that can ever be Everyone was surprised to see How the flower bloomed with the bee Their love grew to a great height They were together all day and night Then came a stormy night The hail took the bee down after a tough fight A valiant soldier, how he fought To be by his love, with whom he had tied the knot His last words alone lingered above ‘Until we meet again my love!’ The winds carried his words to the flower Who was struck by horror Reminded of the storm before That had brought the first teary outpour Grief will heal in time Everyone was kind But only the flower knew What was really true Slowly it withered and tried To go on living, without pride Without its beloved by its side Until the day of passing arrived Breathing a sigh of relief came it’s last words, ‘alas we meet again mylove!’ 40 lines |
