Shahnaz Islam Poet Epigram

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!

Quoth Theraven May 3, 2020 at 8:52 PM 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 Shahnaz Islam July 13, 2020 at 12:05 AM 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.
