THE TRESPASSER

A sweet home, a happy family stay,
Love and care, attachments display,
Lovable parent and beautiful couple,
The house never faced any trouble (1)

She is feeding the kid, preparing food,
Her life attends to her hubby; she stood,
Infinite interest, attentive she always is,
A couple on the sofa, kids, well, play, (2)

The trust, obedience, and understanding,
Visible in the abode, firmly standing,
A heaven in the home belief is strong,
For years, they stay miraculously long (3)

The strong wall, failed interference,
Outside the world, happens, pretense,
Not affected them, their lives, they sing,
On occasion, the birds with their wings (4)

Fly far off to a lap of nature recluse,
A serenity, solitude attracts bemuse,
Busy with their performance, excellent.
The boundary wall is invisible, resilient, (5)

A creeper from an outside wall grows,
Crossing a wall, root fractures show,
Crumbles the stones, a boundary opens,
The family was unaware, less woken, (6)

Roomer enters their home, invisible,
Broke the mutual trust, creates trouble,
Suspicion separates quickly fragile life,
The house of quarrel, bitter fight, strife, (7)

Discover a couple much later, a creeper,
Uprooted doubts, the culprit is a trespasser.
Melted as morning mists, enmity faded,
Reinforced their mind, a wall in a tirade. (viii)
