Blood and water

Published on by Harpreet Chhachhia

A lover once said:
Blood was thicker than water.
He proved it.
International normalised ratio
Indicates coagulation.
Radioactive equivalent water thickness
Indicates purity.
But purity of blood
Sometimes
Causes an uproar.
Pure bloods are incorrect.
Still lovers leave.
Blood is thicker than water.
It begs the question then:
When thirst beckons
Why is water chosen?
Drink blood, lover.

  1. Loved the climax totally! Very hard hitting !
    ‘Drink blood, lover!’
    Hahah
    Blood creates and water sustains
    Question still remains is the creator great or the nourisher!??

    I guess bonds will always remain true to blood – but yes, water will be drunk when thirst beckons coz water is always taken for granted !

    Lovely poem!
