Where Love betrayed Lust
It is a usual summer evening. A beautiful young lady in white gown is walking through a marketplace and a boy notices her.
That fine evening, when he saw her,
he heard some beats popping from his ribs,
and as if jaws were meant to repel lips,
and as if his gaze had nothing to cover,
his mouth and eyes disclosed wide.
Soon, he shifted himself a bit aside,
so that she would walk onto him and,
at the least bruise her hair or hand.
But the fear pulled him back to hide,
behind a wall with hole to peep through.
Hole was empty, Yes his lusty eyes were true,
for the girl now showed up where he'd hid,
“Your eyes have shot my bosom, kid!”
“What? you? Kid who? I am twenty two!”
Then, an unusual smile melted his usual heart.
Now, you won't believe me in this part!
But a ‘glock' in her hand pointed at his head.
“Come with me or stand here in your blood”
“I can, but my love towards you will not”
So followed, his blind love, an eyed gun at him.
They reached a lightless night, too dim,
where he was insisted to open a coffin,
“God! I thought there was something in here”
“Thank me! Now, you are going to be in dear!”
Then, reached a tiny bullet tearing his chest.
“Thank you! I thought I was shot the best”
“You are! Look at your corpse in the box!”
“Hell! What have you done to me? You fox!”
“I helped the lust, along with the body, to rest,
and our souls here, ready to love each other."
