Love Oath

Alexander Pope III

Intelligent and imaginative lady’s Mind and Heart

Outshine the Michelangelo’s Art

But an affliction  with her runs till the end from the start

It takes  decades before she settle the name of her final sweetheart

 

She appears well settled in life

Yet her mind  does not cease to strife

The problem is more aggravating as world see her as dutiful wife

Why God has created this trap marring her blissful life

 

Married life is the norm of God created for the society

The Girls start lives as cause of their parent’s anxiety

Though totally unaware, but she also follow laws of this propriety

Girls choose to settle with the 'One'  forsaking the variety

 

Married life is an out and out lie

She behave as happy, but her heart cry

Her celestial body also bids goodbye

Just obtains the status of mother and feel glorified

 

The love felt at vows take a dip

Blessed are those who start taking nectar sip

But Marital course hardly flips

Notwithstanding pleasure and religious trip

 

Then her world starts limiting

Her hobbies start crippling

The force in demands of family becomes sickening

The family grows but her own life dwindling

 

She keeps on sewing family threads

Always appear happy for a newlywed

But she hardly know Gods plan is to  spin her head

And seek forgiveness from him for sin of being wed

 

Is Marriage , a thinking women’s death bed

Same is also true  if she is well read

This creature can be a worker, lawyer or teacher

She is considered a facility with double feature 

 

Oh God see, what happened to your legendry creature

Such attractive and distinctive feature of this mystical creature

Can she ever come out of washing, sewing, and cooking

Ultimately there is no benefit in being good looking

 

The soul of women thus is tamed

Her existence is the only thing to be blamed

Her mind and heart are divided house

It will be futility for her to now find solutions at book house

 

Kids are now over a feet

The love in marriage takes a backseat

Some gain flesh even if they hardly eat

Family calls it her victory, but she is staring at her defeat

 

It is at this moment she desires , for what society has coined term cheat

Someone interesting and new to meet

But liabilities are too many and youth to compete

Her heart agrees to a retreat

 

 

Then time passes very fast

With her kids, she stand steadfast

She invest her everything in kids as long as it last

So very little remains biologically in her to face a world so vast

 

 

The debris of feeling and body so remain

The memories of youth drive her insane

House to homemaking process is stalled

The self-love is again reinstalled

 

 

She love  her family , kid and Home

But still something separate her from family , even if all are together at Rome

The ring on the finger is now only ornamental

Only her domestic facade remains everything else she dismantle

 

 

She is again a wild horse on the run

Searching for a new one

The search is easy to complete

Love is difficult for girls, but for a woman so easy to repeat

 

 

She is so upbeat

But society and family are to be managed with deceit

But Lover is a novice and wants openly to show his heartbeat

She goes back to her shell and a part of her dies with million heartbeat

 

 

Never blame yourself for such venture

It's the force of nature, which sends you on this adventure

Family and Love you deserve both.  

So discharge family duty and also freely take love oath

 

Fidelity is by circumstances and not to get glory.  

You are free to write your own story 

Fidelity should not be another name for slavery 

Life is short , make yourself merry
