An Old Love Affair

Unveiled each layer of her life
Each layer was mute and dark
It shouted out of silence
To break free of manacle wrapped around her
She waited it to get corroded and rusted
But she feared losing her zeal
She silenced her muted shouts
Allowed her zeal to do the talking

Source: Google Search
The cuffs of his shirt were dirty
The fragrance of his sweat was fresh
No manacle could fit his wrist
Because he was a free spirited man
It was that passion that rested within him
He heard those silenced muted shouts
And followed the noise to find her


Like the wine gets better with time, their old love affair got stronger with time.

Author's Note: It was either to look at the beauty of the word love or pay obedience to the beast that resides in the word affair.

P.S.: To those love stories that have come out stronger through the test of time.

  1. Beautiful poem. Although, sometimes I want to read more of those love stories where nobody (or both) need saving and there is no "damsel - in - distress" kind of a situation. On a level, I guess, we all are in distress, albeit in different amounts. So we all need saving. And it is in love and passion that we expect to find our saviors. :)

    1. If you look at the man's character with dirty cuffs and sweat, it kind of captures the hard work he does.

      And the woman is strong to allow her zeal to do the talking. She is not sitting over her handcuffs to rust.

      Men are physically strong and women are emotionally strong is what I wanted to narrate. I will keep your comment in mind when I write something next time around to put it in a more strong manner.

      Thanks for your feedback.

  2. Wonderful lines:
    The cuffs of his shirt were dirty
    The fragrance of his sweat was fresh
    No manacle could fit his wrist
    Because he was a free spirited man
    It was that passion that rested within him

    And followed the noise to find her

    Takes you to another place where love is at its passionate best. Now whether it's the first love or the present, who knows which one was 'The One'.

  3. I tend to agree...men are physically strongand women are emotionally strong.
    But,But....women have something in them that makes them a stronger human being than men

  4. not every love story can be told in words , only silence can tell ya what happened,, where he came back to ask "how is she ???",,,came back leaving everything behind for a promise he made. . .
