The Wedlock Rose

The wedlock rose! ---------------------- If our marriages are made in heavens, why are they broken in this world? If we tie the knot for life, why so soon nothing is left to be said or heard? You made me feel like the brightest star, now I'm under the darkest clouds! My wedding dress with your dying love will be buried in divorce's shrouds! I think I haven't changed, I am the same charming lady you loved so mad! You tell me I'm not who you thought I was, how all good in me turned bad? With you I were dwelling in the skies, in a galaxy of stars with the full moon! Your change of hearts had me crestfallen, sending me down to this lagoon! Holding the bouquet of fresh red roses you gave me bending on your knees! Dropping their petals into water, I'm sending 'em on their separation journeys! But once they are not the part of the flower, they'll lose their bloom and wither! Just like we both are now lifeless statues, not the lively souls the way we were! If only everyone who walks the aisle remembers that the wedlock is like a rose! With so much fragrance, color and beauty, why'd a few thorns slit sacred vows? ----------------------- Poetry by Dr. Asghar Nazeer (LinkedIn profile http://sa.linkedin.com/in/drasgharnazeerlinkedinprofile) Kindly read this poem with a lovely matching photo on LinkedIn pulse at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/article/20140726171554-167523528-if-only-everyone-who-walks-the-aisle-remembers-that-the-wedlock-is-like-a-rose-with-so-much-fragrance-color-and-beauty-why-d-a-few-thorns-slit and my other 28 poems with similarly captivating pics at LinkedIn main author's page at https://www.linkedin.com/today/author/167523528?_mSplash=1 All my posts are shared through my Facebook community page "Hear those pics Say what clicks" https://www.facebook.com/PicsAndPoets You are most welcome to visit this page as all my posts are public and everyone may tag, share, comment on and like them.
