This is how I unfold our love

by Amrita Singh

Recapitulating from its birth
to its demise
We deep-rooted it
Nurtured it
It blossomed
It grew
Like a healthy and happy plan
withstanding all the phrases
It sustained to grow its parts
but
couldn't resist the hurricane
of altered feelings
Deprived of love and warmth
it uprooted itself
Withered and decayed
Its parts crumbled into million shards
Pleaded to bloom again.
