It’s a story of a young couple
Trapped,
Intense emotions
Ambushed,
Reflection of infatuation
Attached, outrageously tight

In a flash, they grasp
Envisage the moment: how they fabricate a malignant bond
“An odd tango, Darling. Unavailing veto!”
Indeed, such addictive repetition

2 pairs of feet head towards one and other directions
Without amelioration
Impossible as they blockade each other’s way
The light lingers to prompt, and the dark is a stodgy statue
Nevertheless they keep drawing gigantic iceberg,
Detain the opposites

What a struggle for a harmony
But put the music into an end will wake up the catastrophe
The notion of survival mark a question
They used to be alone, together
Sudden distance define an agony
No medium could convey the sorrow

An impromptu rendez-vous is that all they need?
He asked the melody for help
She made peace with the beat
Prolong the interval
Another jump,
A last jump
The jump didn’t last

I witness no thief filch any second
I wish their kiss solve all problems
Even the wind knew it wasn’t

Reluctant souls face the dilemma,
To stay
To leave
“I love you, but you hinder me”
