Then and Now

Then, he saw the petals, now he sees the thorns

          Whilst there was jasmine around the corner

Then she saw the light, now she feels the heat

         Bearing a wish for the breeze to come and soothe

Then he heard the music, now he hears the scream

         Evoking an assay for rhythmic joy of delight

Then She felt the comfort, now she stands the ail

         To bring forth a desire to have a relief

Then he relished love, now he endures queer

        Hence was in need of a superfluous spirit

Then she found the refuge, now she lost her faith

         Landing an appeal for final moments to come
