Premium MemberDivorced


In the conjugal life’s complex topography, 
vowed to traverse to the end together
within the sacred institution of matrimony,
the path may bifurcate where distrust dust gathers.

Marking the legal dissolution of marriage,
the partners once embraced by love and commitment,
walk divergent walkways through the emotional corridor,
away from incompatibility, for they grow apart over time. 
 
The common course splits with the conflicting mindsets, 
plunging into whirlpool of emotional challenges,
bears testimony to how the convivial chord 
of conjugal harmony the impaired sentiments crumble.

In the lonely search for the way out of despair 
psychic positivity leads to personal growth,
offering the opportunity of new beginnings,   
helping to rise from the ruins of the past.

Self-esteemed prudence is a guide to navigate 
the new reality through the terrain of self-regulating life, 
and curve out an independent course to move on,
for the night ends, a new sun rises in another dawn.

     Ardent ardour rippling in romance.
      Glamour in amour also to dance.
     Marital life running smooth with bliss.
     Ideal family, I succeeded to establish.
      No complaints in marital relationship.
      My duties cum career, I loved to worship.

      Loving husband and lovey children
      felt me proud devoid of any strain.
      Sudden thunderbolt blast in clear environ
      Got devastated and heart was fully torn.
      
      Conversation of Hubby in land line  put me in suspicion 
       Somehow sensing pungent smell, picked up extension.
      Stunned to listen about nasty betrayal.
      Sudden shock sent me in dreadful dismal.
      But my self-esteem and moral values forced
       me to decide at that instant. Mentally I divorced
      him  : I discarded him, even situation was crucial.
      When wound was malignant, surgery was essential.

Divorced from our true self, we wandered lost,
oblivious to truth of our being,
looming head-heart divide yet to be crossed,
with whispers of conscience disagreeing.

Trapped thus in a web of desire and fear,
joy in permanence soul sought was denied,
since ego let not love and light draw near,
deeming our waywardness as justified.

God, the dweller of our heart was dismayed,
yet waited for us, His child to awake
always ready to hasten to our aid,
by giving a gentle consciousness shake.

God’s left it to us to change our life’s course,
since touch of love applies no use of force.

The love and hate for my father

I love seeing you after a long week
I hate the feeling of driving to your house
I love how we play video games together
I hate that it was all we did
I love my mother
I hate all the problems you made for her
I loved our talks
I hated the way you would talk to me
I love the memories
I hate our memories
I loved hanging out with you
I hated being with you
We used to love each other
Now the love is turning into hate
I love my dad
But, I hate Mark

Jack went up the hill
With lady Daisy for a thrill
He was injured you see
She got skin in her teeth
Jack got divorced from Jill

Premium MemberSemi Divorced

She was a less-than-truckload lady
Who’d signed a contract for the long haul
With the interstate driver she married.
But that trucker kept a bogus bill of lading
And a logbook full of lot lizard flings.
So now she’s rolling down the big slab
In her hubby’s bobtail bulldog,
His gooseneck flatbed stranded in the wings.

She’d just renewed her CDL for diesel;
Her unexpected dispatch wasn’t forced.
Her old man was a cracker-headed weasel.
She left him feeling semi divorced.		
Semi divorced, like a rider unhorsed.
She took away his way to keep on trucking.
Semi divorced was the judgement, of course.
He fooled around with fire and got a f*cking.

What you say?

I say, he fooled around with fire and got a f*cking!

We hear dat.

Heartstrings

You severed me for your paramour,
My first love, you are mon amour, 

Doxy of love surround your heart, 
Betrayed in the lanes of my sweeheart, 

Sweeping the hectic lanes,
Sleeping in the lonely fanes, 

I feel solaced in this heavy rain,
Why is this pity a condolement of pain? 

Sire of our children, am a lone parent...
Squire's anguish on your treachery is apparent... 

Finding love in your absence,
I am in awe of his presence... 

You rush to the aisle in clamour,
Heart cracked, I am married to your paramour.

Premium MemberHappily Divorced

Always so... cordial
  Unfailingly... polite
    Cold-as-ice... phony smiles
            plastered to our faces

Tedious, boring... but not unpleasantly so
  nodding, agreeing... with nothing in particular

Infernos of hatred raging within us
  probing, never piercing, civility's placid surface

Divorced

divorced

pause.
between the last syllable of your goodbye
and the memory 
of all we promised to each other
is a dream that will not die
a suspended sunset 
that once gifted our eyes
old moon in a tired sky
cacophony of crickets 
in the backdrop as you cry
with questions that ask only 
why why why
and I,
sinking drowning 
fading into the ink of my heart
can’t remember the first misstep
or how that fissure tore us apart.
ragged edges painted red 
with fingers raw 
pointing at what each other said
pause.
between your last step
and the wetness of our first kiss
there is a breath  still breathing
in the hollow of our chests
making sense of what making love
once meant
wondering where our innocence went
what took it’s place 
and what we didn’t say
to our children
who are still wondering
why we went away.

Premium MemberAlmost Divorced

I near got divorced from my marriage 
Eyes wandered, as I walked with my carriage 
It was on St. Patrick's Day 
When I stopped a girl to say... 
Hello...instead of shopping for cabbage 

My wife saw the girl give me a smile 
She noticed as she walked down the aisle 
I forgot the potatoes 
Cause I saw her tomatoes 
But they were green, and that's not my style

Winter has arrived with a vengeance up north
Seems earlier each year a new climate has morphed
Here's what I say to that
Shove it down your hatch
Cold weather and yours truly have officially divorced

Divorced of a Lonely Soldier

Turning with the wind
Lost letters
To the wind
Death Letters
To you I sent

How I lived 
I'm not too sure
To you I survived
To die again

keep them or toss them
Goodbye my love 
The wind will know 
What was there

Goodbye

I will always love you 
But I can't stay here
If I stay the wind will
carry me to die
if I stay the wind will carry me



to




die

Divorced

DIVORCED 

perhaps I was young, unknown
perhaps my presence was a number ,unseen
for they made their decisions ,not thought of
and I missed them so, unnoticed.

perhaps we needed to talk
for I too had a choice, unheard
and when I wonder why, unanswered
yet I miss him without question, he never calls

mother loves me, she works harder
yet I miss those days back then
when they read me a story to sleep
but they are divorced, forgotten.

                      RENITAH
