AN ACCIDENT
Quarrel is a part of a family:
his parents- misunderstanding and short temper control his potentiality.
A wife became the victim of a quarrel,
her nose was broken.
Red blood merged with red love.
Love received a blow-
on a snow-white gown a yellow tea spot.
Detergents and blues would fail forever to make it powdery white.
Yellowness has now become the tears of wife’s eyes,
the muscle-red heart of husband has turned yellow too!
Her son called a doctor-
stitches stopped bleeding:
within 7 days she got recovered.
No police case was filed-
as an accident is an accident…
Love still bleeds,
bleeds like a broken nose.
Three doctors- respect, belief and sacrifice
fail forever to cure.
Though the wife was wounded,
her husband’s right hand is now bleeding instead of her broken nose!
