LOVE FADES

By: G. Naih  Peter

When morning rays

Shone across my wire-meshed windows,

I got caught by those days’

Truth of the life realities,

But didn’t know that:

Love fades.

 –

I love you, right

From that first sight,

When your snowy teeth shone bright,

I couldn’t tell that it wasn’t right

But definitely told you,

I love you in broad day-light.

 –

My heart beats exceeded,

In thought of words unleashed,

Eager to hear the respond.

A hug acclaimed without delay,

That she love me too,

Agreed as love comes true.

 –

Time goes as love gets strong,

Our love could not be wrong,

We all knew the destiny we belong,

For this was what we long,

“Two shall be one”,

The cleric said happily.

Life changes got in,

Our love fell a victim of change,

Words couldn’t be exchanged,

Smiles were by a chance

As quarrels masterminds chaos,

It was just the beginning.

 –

Unknown journeys claimed the changes,

Appointments with friends appears,

As many dudes took over the wickedness,

My mind was filled with a stress,

Loneliness was the thing in my mattress

As I watch love faded pictures,

Indeed love fades.
