Benumbed Jane

Benumbed Jane! "he'd never give a plain Jane like you a second's thought" (but hellishly reign his godly wife) O Jane! Be little prettier Be more wiser Crucify your benumbed senses Resurrect your eloquent vehement Why she choose to be the godly wife? Why he choose to be the beastful husband? Let's not brawl and yawp Let's not cuddlerape and strangled with a scarf In unwieldy guilts and sins of the battlefields of the Great Marriage Give up now Or Surrender to salvation You are not owing to “Beauty and the Beast” - A French Fairy Tale Time has no time Be little prettier Be more wiser O Jane!

Hello Shahnaz, What a tender battlefield in this poem. Jane's search for that which was lost, or taken; her identity. I had to look up a couple of the words which was an added bonus. -Richard

Quoth TheRaven the lose or gain, but the jounery we doubt to live or to die always and that's the battle all about! Thank you.
