Divorce and remarriage

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton

Fell in love in the set of Cleopatra,

As ardently as queen Cleopatra

And General Mark Antony in the play.

She was twenty eight and he, thirty five.

They had been in love scandal for four years

By when they divorced their spouses and married.

They had been married just for ten years

Of which the later half made them estranged.

They divorced in year 1974,

To be married again after a year,

Which did not last more than a year.

He was her fourth and fifth husband of eight.

He was the one she was drawn to most passionately.

She died in 2011 as a divorcee

And he in 1985 as a divorcee.

In spite of passion, love and position,

They could not be a happy couple.
