Misunderstanding

Two souls met with glee
moments in blithe
emotions in a spree

A harmonious union
a bonding with no decree
they shared life experiences
smiles in abundance
hearts were set to free

The little confab that brewed innocuously
they enjoyed with a charm
letters written with enthusiasm
a fire got ignited
without meaning any harm

But in some fateful trice
his affectionate words that meant no harm
were taken against him
and a spark of misunderstanding
crashed the momentary bliss

  1. This lines are so well laid; “But in some fateful trice
    his affectionate words that meant no harm
    were taken against him
    and a spark of misunderstanding
    crashed the momentary bliss”….. Truly a misunderstanding

  2. The misunderstanding which slowly and surely kills the relationship.A feeling most truthfully expressed. Who hasn’t gone through such a horrible experience tin their life.

  3. Ah yes, good old misunderstandings… they do know how to twist things up, I would say. But your writing is beautiful and there’s nothing to be misunderstood there! Wonderfully penned as always 🙂

  4. Misunderstandings end everything. Funny there is no room for communication when misunderstanding creep up.
