The Big Fight
Tears on flushed faces,
Force of tight clutches,
Heat of the busy devices,
Burning eyes,
Gasps of warm sighs,
Running beats

Till the battery is low to no more
Intervening short periods of silence surround
Rapidly rolling thoughts hover arround
Thoughtlessly, impulsively, involuntarily
Wet with the salty water,
From the 'swollen eyes river'

And god is thanked thrice
An 'immediate meeting ' alert
Gets immediately raised; by the two voices
That try hard to be inert.

They hug, and they snug,
Soon soothed to solace,
Still let the silence prevail
