An age old couple
are in trouble
so long a lively pair
now in disenchanted fare.
They see not eye to eye
live separated and not shy
the wife remains unbothered
the husband unperturbed.
What might be the reason?
is it because of treason?
be it in the part of one
or be it for only fun.
It could not be fun
as they exactly shun
see they not each other
nor try to resolve rather.
It is unfathomable
more so it is unthinkable
quarrel at the ripe old age
unimaginable at this stage.
They continue to live in such state
Well, in old age that is their fate
forgetting that companionship
is the essence
live they without each other’s presence.
