The Human Half by Sayan Mukherjee

708

There were only two lovers
that loved long and hard,
like a leaf of two broken halves,
there was no place for third.

One half being machine cold,
It’s gears got rusted old,
the other half was lively stone,
It’s life died in it’s mold.

Thus both being too late to love
are humane in the flesh,
for even love in mortal mold,
learns to lose it’s place.

This is a only women portal that welcomes all format of literature, art and celebrates it's creator, the woman who's unique, who is art herself! _Monroe Gogoi Phukan Founder of Ode to a Poetess.
