Strangers As Lovers

STRANGERS AS LOVERS


She became strange as a stranger in a lovers boat
As the wind puffs power and gets stronger
Their relationship gets weaker
She finds fault in everything he does
She picks quarrel at every slightest opening
Yet the wind marches on with a vigor
That mirrors the minds of the disturbed

They hardly speak to each other again 
They now opt for strange smiles 
Over mind-bugging issues 
He saw it coming from above 
He questioned and queried the strangeness
Still lost, wandering and pondering in his thoughts

It all ran fast like a hare
Faster then they could ever dream of
Alter solemnization promise this varnishes 
Prophecies of unparallel compatibility
And perfect matching wanes.

Why will he wait for seven years before she let go?
Why now, two months to end her tutelage
Why did she throw her rectitude of years in murky water? 
Why did she stab with impunity all they’ve lived for?
