The broken boulder

The promises were all rosy
to make my dreamy world all cosy,

And I believed you,

Believed the blushing hue

on your face

whispered as 'love you' in my embrace.

Believed the honesty of light

in those eyes, big, dark and deep,

They looked a clam, balmy sea

for me

to swim, sunbathe and reach home

to that island bearing the love-dome.

Believed the purity of that kiss

purred with a seductive soft hiss

on my lips

with ecstatic coquettish drips.

Promises are made to be broken,

I should have known,

You think you just broke a little vow,

A tiny promise,

A dewy fragile word,

Or just the brittle assurance of a kiss,

Or a few stars in the eyes,

You think these are small cuts,

not amounting to a big sin or murder,

Dear let me tell you,

These are the major cleavages

in the dam,

Every stone has a brittle seam,

Hit it there with the tiny chisels of

unkept promises, fake stars in the eyes,

lying kisses and feigned whispers

caressing the earlobes,

Hit the mightiest stone with them,

And its stoniness lays bare,

There it lies broken,

It'll withstand a strike

by the head-on strike of a bull,

But it will fall apart 

by the strike of a tiny chisel

that knows where to strike the softest spot.

Clever are the feminine strikes,

They hit deep,

The masculine blind force hits

just the surface to give a skin-bruise,

But yours lays bare the entire structure loose.

All done 

and moving ahead for more fun, 

And clever enough to put all blame on me,

Using the male's kitty of stereotyped blames,

Judged yourself to be the victim

and me the culprit 

in your own court

using your own laws

your own arguments

shouted by your own lawyers 

and the smart verdict by your own judge.

Confidently you broke the stone

and left it scattered with its painful moan.
