Never Dare to Ask!

Prompt: 3

Napowrimo/ Glopowrimo-23

New love, new love, where are you to lead me?

All along a narrow way that marks a crooked line.

How are you to slake me, and how are you to feed me?

With bitter yellow berries, and a sharp new wine.

New love, new love, shall I be forsaken?

One shall go a-wandering, and one of us must sigh.

Sweet it is to slumber, but how shall we awaken-

Whose will be the broken heart, when dawn comes by?

~ "The Last Question"

-Never Dare to Ask

Love grown old with age,

Where shall we stop?

Along the straight way 

While walking hand in hand

When our nest goes empty,

On the smooth run

If one of us is left to feed oneself

Won’t it be tough to have a soup without other?

When our love ages with time,

In our spare time, we shall sit together 

On a bench near river 

Deep in our thoughts of past,

One of us might call a name of other

Will you or i be revived by the echoes on silent river?
