One Last Forbidden Kiss
Church bells were heard nearby
As minarets tall, made prayer calls
When they stood on war torn bridge
Parting with one last forbidden kiss.
Sirens of war were loud too,
But bombs much louder, blasted inferno.
Bridge collapsed, bodies shattered,
No voice dared to claim the silence.
