Two;
Bound together by threads of “foolishness”.
Cast out by the ordinary.
Unhinged;
Yet barely thought, to fear the persecution
that would arrive from
this originality they called “Love”.
And in this love,
no amount of loathing could ever
break them.
Bonded;
Branded by time.
Their hearts, intact, knew no crime.
The world frowned.
They did not flinch.
It would take more than sordid smiles
To make a monkey
out of lions.
Courage
In such companionship was disallowed.
But they took to the stage,
Let out their show of love,
And in everlasting valour,
bowed.
