Scarlett and crimson

By Abhipsa Rautaray

 

They drifted apart in the waves of amber,
Their souls grasping onto eachother in that crimson red chamber.

The flames devoured ,every inch of their life
It showed no mercy , like the darkest of nights.

"It was perhaps, the result of their sin"
Falling in love was forbidden for them .
" They deserved it for going against their kin" 
Their story slowly faded as the flames greeted them.

Covered in scarlett red, their bodies drifted apart
And drowned beneath the sea of debris ,
Yet their souls left the world together
As the crimson fire put an end to their grief.
