Is Love A Creed? ? ? Poem by Konjit Berhane

If loving him was a crime?
I wonder why she’s spending her time
May be by a cruel judge she is sentenced
Or she made it her lifetime creed

Her dark black eyes show her pain
Her innocent and loving heart beats with vain
The once young, active and bold
Now looks as if losing her strength, weak and cold
Everything in her life bite to dust
Leaving her no one to trust
No vision, no appetite, no sleep
At last she run out of tears to weep.
