Confussional Poetry

DIVORCED

     Ardent ardour rippling in romance.
      Glamour in amour also to dance.
     Marital life running smooth with bliss.
     Ideal family, I succeeded to establish.
      No complaints in marital relationship.
      My duties cum career, I loved to worship.

      Loving husband and lovey children
      felt me proud devoid of any strain.
      Sudden thunderbolt blast in clear environ
      Got devastated and heart was fully torn.
      
      Conversation of Hubby in land line  put me in suspicion 
       Somehow sensing pungent smell, picked up extension.
      Stunned to listen about nasty betrayal.
      Sudden shock sent me in dreadful dismal.
      But my self-esteem and moral values forced
      me to decide at that instant. Mentally I divorced
      him  : I discarded him, even situation was crucial.
      When wound was malignant, surgery was essential.

A nasty recognition in this (hopefully) fictional write and yet heart must heal, forgiving while preserving self-esteem. Enjoyed your poem, Anisha, good luck in the contest.
