Black Powder
BLACK POWDER
Fireworks glowed on sky
sparkling so spectacular.
Crackers blown and burst
spreading ash and black powder.
hitting hammer on ear drum.
Odor of sulphur
flaunted polluting air.
Charcoal dust on roof
to be cleaned and swept out.
Waited long just to breathe fresh.
Fireworks glowed on love.
but blown burst on betrayal.
Caused bruise and scar.
Heart swept all leaving no trace.
Black powdery love still haunts.
