Midnight Riddles...

Poetry

By waqar jameelPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

If I tell you all about her, would you be wise to know who she is.

If I warn you about her, would you care to take my advice. Well riddle me this.

Men opt to drink down their sorrows because of her, some feel without her life is worthless. She goes with many companions, some have been called anger and jealousy. She can make a grown men feel young again.

"If I tell you about her, could you say who she is".

She is the cause of the death for many, kings leave their thrones for her and princes betray their land for her.

Women have felt her touch and dived into her arms, men saw her afar and craved for her presence. She is a glamorous flower at a distance and a thorny rose in close sight, she is a beautiful puppy from afar and yet a rabies infected dog nearer.

She is the reason men have killed women, it is in her name that heart were broken and crushed.

If I tell you about her, would you be able to depict her name...?
