FREE VERSE Poem: LOVE FLIES OUT THE WINDOW, by Natasha Ali

There it goes.
Love goes out the window.
When you’re betrayed, closer than close becomes East is East and West is West and never the
twain shall meet again!!
Physical distance wished is a million miles apart in the head.
A silent hostile divide.
Unspoken.
And so it widens, from Earth to Space.
You fill it with blame, ‘he said’, ‘she said’, ‘I’m right, ‘you’re wrong’.
Each wrong justifies a right.
Each right is testified at the Church of Betrayal,
On the Alter of Smashed up Love.
It’s all gone awry.
And you stand clothed there wronged.
Sprinkle hate generously to keep the good cause justified and alive.
Here there is raison d’etre,
Reasonable reason leaves,
Irresponsible insanity arrives and approves.
Yet a mad Despot needs not reason, crazy love makes Tyrants.
Ah yup…there it goes…Love’s done a runner through the Window!
Forever turns out to be ‘just for now’, or ‘until something better comes along’.
The beauty of sensual lovemaking now unsatisfied boring sex.
The roses now stink of shit,
The Cats have been pissing abundantly raising weeds,
Velvet petals turn dry to dust,
The flowers wither and emotions to mulch,
Thorns prick and Love bleeds,
It grieves for those good old ‘could’ve beens’,
That’ll get you each time.
Oh those loving looks to resent,
That festers in the heart and governs the head. And there it settles and ferments.
Oh me, oh my, Love does a running jump through the Window!
Lovers to strangers, friends to enemies.
Who would’ve thought it would come to this??
Fighting over possessions once unitedly purchased.
Care and Share becomes Keep and Reap.
Love songs to fight songs Anthems.
No more climb high mountains or swim deep oceans,
Or nimbly skip and jump through flowered meadows,
Whilst happily chucking daisies in the air.
Now all you feel is that humiliating sting of love up for sale and no potential buyers.
Looks like Love is sprinting through the Window!
Oh what a fool!
Forever love really is the pits!
Nothing like rubbing your face in Love Sick!
You know they say ignorance is such bliss.
And foresight I hear is such a bitch!
There’s broken hearts and loneliness,
Time heals all wounds,
forgive and forget,
You’ll say you won’t make the same mistake again.
No way!, No how!
Where is true love?
It will happen to you.
it will be for real..next time for sure!
As you longingly ponder when,
Licking love’s past wounds,
Cupid cherubically sniggers….
Has Love swiftly flies out the Window!
