Unceremonious Ceremony

UNCEREMONIOUS CEREMONY Will weaponized with wounded words, Purpose unbound against all odds. She shades shame showing sheer strength in the face of a situation of "Life & Death". Eyes heated and heart blotted rashly, He's hunted, his hands harmonised hastily So tired & soul-tied, settling for life, even when he isn't looking for a wife. Of his escapades, she has had enough. Although no Blessing and no Love. Welcome to the unceremonious ceremony, Only a Contract named "Matrimony" And a forced vow delivered under duress Both couples with solo breaths — ominous. In this ceremonial circus, he plays no cupid, In playing her character, she acts stupid. He never inclined to woo her, In her man's world, she's the ruler. Life advances for a grand finale, despite running from Malawi to Mali, tainted destiny still pushed Him to Natalie, the one that he sexually eschews But mentally and physically refuse. Thus with mutiny in his mind He's to marry & leave freedom behind Forced to marry, and responsibility to carry, The gun to his head makes his eyes starry Cos those bullets are too close to parry. She is a lover ready to hold him bound. But she makes his young heart pound, She is played, used but won't be dumped This wedding won't be delayed but prompt He's the bull that keeps bashing all the ladies, And riding through & through each stages So she took the bull by the horn And humble the fool with her gun. Bullevard couldn't take a hike because he knows Natalie will strike. She was bound to getting him to sign, He was bound to her, never to cross the line.
