The Fled Lovers
1. He left his race
And land for another
There he discovered her
And would not let her go
2. They have become snail
And shell in the
New land, they are
Like brother and sister
3. The news soon gets
To his people and
Because of the maltreatment
Meted out to them
4. By her fore parents
Decades past his people
Have resolved they would
Dissuade his mind on it
5. He was invited home
For urgent meeting he
Left in vigor and
Confidence to return to her
6. Unknown to him that
‘Was invited because of
Her, his thought was
To break the news to ‘em
7. Was kept aback when
Discovered that he was
Invited home for what
He wants to break to ‘em
8. Reasons for him to
Distance himself from her
Were laid bare before
The young brilliant chap
9. All his defense fell
On deaf ear for
They ‘d all made up
Their minds, it’s no go area.
10. Forsooth, he was asked
To leave the land
For home or another
Place because earth’s Lord’s.
11. If he leaves the
Land he won’t be
Able to think of her
Again since not seeing her.
12. Neither would he put
Up defenses for the
Race again, for he
Would think straight then
13. Promised he to do
What said and requested
To return to at
Least gather his belongings
14. On getting back told
Her everything and after
All said and done
Decide to relocate together
15. Left for a far
Land leaving no traces
Of their movements and
There they started living
16. Their love is like
A blossom flower that
Puts up good fragrance
And beautiful color daily
17. No intrusion as people
Knew little about them
Silently and lovingly living
Growing in their love
18. Their neighbors envied their
Relationship and many prayed
They would have love
And lovers likened to half theirs’
19. People of the land
Didn’t believe such love
They express among themselves
Could indeed be real
20. A person of another
Race, color, tongue, tribe
To be involved with
Each other as this?
21. It beats them hollow
Their dreams never revealed
Such neither does it
Cross their imaginations.
22. For all before now
Their thought had been
Such exists on Hollywood
Or some story books
23. Seeing this a reality
They had no other
Explanation other than with
Love everything is possible.
