The fire of ego
A pair ...nay ! a happy couple
Metallic purple green,so supple
Of sunbirds visit my backyard grove,
Purity of love they exhibit and prove.
Echoing crisp sounds , flutters rather
Playful and agile, they dive together.
In mutual patterns and moves they fly
Every tree, bush and flower they try.
In a mirror, once the male sees his reflection.
At once ego and jealousy spring to action.
An illusion , it is just a matter trivial .
But he tooks it to be an enemy,a rival.
He attacks the mirrored image of his own
With clutchy claws and beak curved down.
As strong is he,so is reflection in the mirror.
It hurts ego and sends spine chilling shiver.
Tired and exhausted, he would fall
Beak and body injured overall.
He regains strength ,energetic again
But his attacks on reflection,all in vain .
He forgets partner and flights of delight
Now is engaged in an egoistic fight .
I wonder, how the poor is battered by pride
Otherwise,he might be on a long love drive .
