True Wife Does Not Love

True wife does not love
but  is practically loved
she is loyal and caring
but not in mechanical way
her man is her best pride
rarely named names
her waist carries secrets
whispered when together
when the sun is asleep
and only ghosts linger
to pick confidential things
from roofs of bedrooms

Women have become independent with a mind of their own. Without a devout, supportive woman, a man is nothing. There is always one thing about nothing. It never needs any accompaniment.

So ideological! Times change and nothing is ever the same-even tradition through ages.
