In shadows deep, a tale of love concealed,

He lied about her death, a twisted shield.

To protect her fragile heart from cruel strife,

He wove a web of fiction, secret life.

 

A marriage hidden, veiled from prying eyes,

A clandestine affair, a false demise.

For unseen foes sought to destroy their bliss,

He chose deception, sealed with a lover's kiss.

 

But now, acceptance dawns upon his soul,

His love, his bond, no longer kept in control.

He heals the wounds, sends healing to all hearts,

His love for her transcends all earthly arts.

 

A secret lover, hidden from the crowd,

The apple of his eyes, his love unbound.

With children dear, he plays and teaches wise,

A man in every sense, his love belies.

 

Yet, the lie about her death hangs heavy still,

A bittersweet choice to safeguard her will.

But in their home, peace and tranquility bloom,

Love's warm embrace dispels all shades of gloom.

 

A haven safe, where joy and laughter dwell,

Their love a sanctuary, where dreams can swell.

With grateful hearts, they kneel and pray as one,

Thanking the heavens for all they have won.

 

No wish to replace, no longing for more,

Their blessings cherished, their souls adore.

In these verses, their tale of love we find,

A testament to devotion, intertwined.

 

So let us learn from this deceitful art,

That love's true light can heal a broken heart.

For in the end, it is love's sweet embrace,

That fills our lives with grace and lasting grace.
