The Book Mark Of Destiny

Inside the book characters are stuck to the last page

Laughter turned our pages...fate timing
Chapters easy flowing… memories growing
Then bulging kicked to thicken our plot
Our dream of three completed our lot

The plane ripped through pages of sky
At paradise island destiny had left us
Sun kissed diamonds… hearts content
Morning parch met with indelible ink


Still lies the book mark of destiny


Want out of this novel it’s just not fair
Lost in the book where pages tear
The water came we tried a tree
To late tsunami gripped us… no plea



Silence wrote the last page
