Poem
Love and Pain Decided to get married I know it seems strange For you would have expected Love and affection to want to tie the knot After all…they were similar They socialized in the same set of word families The artistonyms Love and passion also wanted To be forever joined That everyone condoned and blessed But, oh, how everyone laughed At the strange request Of Love and Pain To be wed “What’s wrong with your head? You two are from different worlds From antonym slums You can’t unite And become one!” Love held on to Pain And would not let her go…. He smiled a knowing smile “There has never been One of us without the other We belong… For only when you truly encounter Love Will you experience Pain.” Pain shed a tear And yet she smiled “Where Love exists I hover near… Have no fear Our union will produce Beautiful babies Love sires Joy A darling child Love fathers Peace And Tranquility, in turn These are the children we will bear But do beware Love can’t survive, without Me For how would He know How would He be certain That he is alive….and well Were it not for ME! And so Love and Pain Were wed Amongst great fanfare It was a match made in heaven For never did they depart One from another Love and Pain? Not so insane Everyone did testify That one did not come Without the other They were tied together Inseparable Nothing could come between them Except their little babies The most beautiful mixed babies That eye shall ever see! Sweet harmony Of Love and Pain Who lived.......companionably ever after! Eileen Manassian Ghali
