Love like things <br />stretched haphazardly over the years <br />receded into vicissitudes of life. <br /> <br />Grown like a plum fruit <br />untouched <br />untasted <br />rotten into an ugly heap. <br /> <br />It told a different story <br />of unfulfilled promises <br />of love <br />withered hopes <br />and untouched heavens. <br /> <br />Like a marvellous annecdote <br />of ancient ruins..<br /><br />Wali Jamali<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ruined-heart/
