Test of Relations

Expectations, obligations

Arguments, disagreements

Heart sores, confrontations

Pain, aversion, uncertainties

Qualms, regrets, insecurities

Is this the life and end of all relations?

 

Weight of some acts or words,

Writes saga of those precious tears

Envy, suspicion, antagonism

Conflicts, opinions and judgments

How relations get trampled

Under burden of fears

 

Love, oh you must

Care, builds the trust

Tolerance, strengthens the roots

Understanding, shields from rust

But just one bitter word, one moment of rage

Is that enough a test of relations?

 

Why moments of laughter and affection

Why days of harmony and consensus

Why months of love and care

Why dreams of victory, quilled together

Weigh less than that one ominous moment

And drown in the tsunami of emotions

 

The test of time- must face all relations

Some walk the wire,

Some tremble at inception

Beliefs get nudged, equations change

Hope quavers, heart refrains

It’s a test of relations, life proclaims!
