Matrimony

Is wedlock the true route to all conjugal bliss, Nuptial excitement that starts with a kiss? Or is it the halter after the altar, That threatens to fetter and make life not better? The fondling and cuddling and nights of long snuggling, Changed overnight to ones, of alcohol guzzling. A churlishness now in the partner is found, From a beloved spouse to an obnoxious bloodhound. She a fabulous cook,now sports a grumpy old look; He's turned from intimacy to reading a book. Love and coquetry has come to an ebb, Finding affections in a new kind of web. Monogamy turns to Polygamy slowly, And perhaps doing things even more lowly? From celibacy to intimacy and words we can't shout, Now their connubial contact lies down and out. They denounce and renounce and have their say, To begin a life in a new kind of way. Leaving it all to their legal belief, Divorce now brings in,some kind of relief. But where it will lead is anybodys guess, For the ball is now rolling and lifes in a mess. === Princefreakasso (Artist and Poet)
