Wings of Love
Adolescent pair qualified
For adultery love
She loved to land in his life
So too, he liked her alike
Puberty took liberty
Mutual parents liked mutually
To be mutual parents-in-law
Cleared pair's passport and visa
Stamped each valid thru life
Wings of love took off
Wandered in a lonely resort
Love was long and longing
Hours melted in minutes
Days vanished in hours
Years rolled in days
And swallowed love and life
Stamps no more valid
Soul and spirit fled in time
To the empire of love free from pyre
For resting in eternal peace
Heaven enforced its discretion
Stamped out soul
To the slot it deserved
When, where and how
God only knows!
