Never think my love as odd

Alexander Pope III

I come across as a cheating boy

Playing with feeling as if these are my toy

All accusations I too enjoy

Am I the only one, whom friends want to destroy

 

I am a bad liar

I show my desire

I openly play with fire

And you want me to retire

 

I am not a perfect person

But I am my best version

I am hardly disturbed by aspersion

But I am not open to any conversion

 

You declare someone as a reason

Whom my eyes search in every season

You also see my heart lesion

And declare me a heathen

 

You are true, I forgot everyone else

And I don’t care about anything else

I became a vein and she became my pulse

All my friends, I repulse

 

From her first look, she owns my heart

For thirty years she played an imaginary part

She is my only sweetheart

In my life, she has no counterpart

 

I will lie if I say she is not my weakness

I love her uniqueness

With her I experience deepness

No one is parallel to her in sweetness

 

You think all this wrong as I walked down the aisle

And I betrayed myself over her wink and smile

Yes her style and looks expand my heart to the square mile

She is the only one I find worthwhile

 

I never worked for my sacred union to survive

I was no one’s husband and no one was my wife

It was like living different lives

You may check all my mind archive

 

I never gained her love or respect

But I choose to never suspect

All the hatred she kept

With crocodile tears, she wept

 

I don’t blame her

She played the role of babysitter

The marital spark never occurred

We were never each other’s preferred

 

So my life was an empty road

Bad feelings were only heavy load

Before I rediscovered my god

Kindly never think my love as odd

    well penned and what a message, I suspect this goes on more than often, but its part of soul evolution, as most of us know life is not perfect, we grow and keep moving on...enjoyed...Dahlia

    I think it takes courage to look in the mirror of self reflection, which I believe you have done in this poem, and see clearly. I love the honesty and openness of this piece penned by one who is truly introspective. Well done!
