A sweet paradox

a long history of nearly nothing
isn’t it paradoxical
that it resulted
in lifetime
of your
fond
dreams

The sun also sinks

the sun also sinks in despair
when after waiting
all day long
she doesn’t
turn
up

for
he
played the
winning shot
the channel conducted
an interview with the umpire

much ado about everything
I face constantly
ever since
she said
I
do

the
winds
are too
strong to keep
the fire burning
we grow accustomed to darkness

who
would
have thought
such mayhem
would have been caused by
simpleminded twists of her hair

as
he
professed
eternal
love to her his voice
betrayed the edge of forever

a simple reason was all she
needed to stay back
his ego
did not
grant
it

and as she walked away, she
took it all with her
dignity
anger
hurt
love
