Peacemaker

Peacemaker
Look beside you. He will not let
you stray to another. Tell the other
to go away is what I say. No, you
can not come out to play.

He's a wolf in sheep's clothing
pretending to be a peacemaker. Don't let him
fool you, as you have moved on with life
and now you are someone's wife. Don't
play with his world as he is now your
husband. 

Please listen to the words of
wisdom, as I had a dream of what's to come.
Swords to cut the soul all from
another's words of promise remember he's
not the peacemaker. Look to the one who
cuddles you at night

A forceful poem dealing with norms, decency and morality. I like it. Thanks for your comments on my Ghazal The Flame of Toughts. I agree with your remaks that one must have friends. Yes, one is not an island. However, friendship must stand the test of time. You are lucky to have a friend for 32 years. I have 3 such friends. One of them that I hold very dear is not of same faith and nationality as I am. -Mohammad
