Theme: Failures and Forgiveness


Their melodies mixed up together,

Formed a blunt nexus as they roared,

It was their melodious ariose;

That built an arcane to their halls,

Which kept them blended and sealed.


She heard an invisible loud alter—

Only she could hear and fear,

It seemed an awful sound,

Made her think with an epoch of wounds,

"Something's coming up," she thought.


She then lurched and maundered,

While their tie kept losing its grip,

Her ears were surrounded by wounded words,

Her mouth was full of aphonic voice;

As they feuded and were blinded by noise.


The egregious exchange of hurts,

Broke the rope that kept them for years,

She begged and pleaded for leniency,

Cried her soul to understand her idiocy,

Never intended to uphold but to apologize.


Her facile mind kept crawling to her core—

She who never heard an apology;

Doubted her amort fate and destiny,

A pact with cleft locked her up in a rancor prison,

And changed her for no good reason.
