an unholy marriage

a holy tied knot,

or held tight handcuffs ,

two hopeful hands ,

or two pointed fingers,

four glaring eyes, 

carrying ablazed dreams,

brown dried lips,

with scorching speeches,

her silent sobs,

and his burning head,

slate grey room,

cut-throat poems ,

god forsaken hope,

no signs of shimmers,

five seasons of love ,

or ten years of adjustments,

two ghosts found 

themselves locked 

in the cage with chaos,

fumes of estrangement 

burned the first plant 

of their lawn,

crevices appeared in 

the rock they once 

looked like,

loads of loathing 

took away their 

memories and moraines,

an unholy ending,

two disabled hands,

four mortal eyes,

two sealed mouths,

messed up heads,

desperate dreams,

everybody shows

how marriage is pious,

two cowards turned 

it into a hoax.
