Hi...here is my submission for the anthology Bitter Love. This poem is unpublished.

Done with Flowers and Honey

Let’s reveal the bitter truth
for lies cannot feed the ego forever
Our love has aged beyond recognition
It’s no more a savior
with a yellowed, wrinkled face
Our hearts might be full of stream’s gurgle
but our music is lost to each other
We are too tired to wake up
to the sound of “I love you”
as it has lost its rhythm
and our voices crack  when we utter these words
It’s time to get hold of truth
and swallow it down
for it’s the only medicine
to cure our blues
Let’s unveil the dark truth…
We are done seeking the fragrance of each other
and we have no taste for honey now.
