Drifting

I drift ever closer
to Soledad,
In the winter of 
my life,
For I have done
the unthinkable,
And slayed my
unfaithful wife...

An act committed
reflexively,
And one whose
consequences
I could not see

So, farewell
dear friends,
I am now insane,
I will relive
that horrorific act
Time and time again.

The Shattered Sanctuary

The gold ring slumbers on
the nightstand,
An unfaithful wife in a
broken marriage.
She walks the hallway with a
quiet tread,
And brings a stranger's scent
into her bed.
The sweet deceptions linger
on her tongue,
While all our sacred promises 
are wrong.
She smiles at texts kept
hidden from her husband 
sight,
And turns her back to meet
her lover at midnight.
The Architecture of her home 
decays,
Lost in the fabric of her
deceitful, sinful, and shifting
ways.

The Woman of My Dreams

My last wife.....
(Hey, you heard me right,
I'd had a few practice runs....)
She was the woman,
of my dreams....

But sometimes things
are not what one seems,
It didn't take long,
For the torture to start,
Try to please her, as I may,
She always clawed at the soul of my heart

Yes, she proved to be unfaithful,
My life, she so shattered,
Didn't make any difference,
how hard I tried,
To her, it just never mattered

Yes, she was the woman of my dreams,
But sometimes, no matter how hard cares,
The woman of their dreams,...
Turns out those dreams....
turn out to be but nightmares

You Only Have Yourself To Blame

You're mad because I told your husband the truth.
You cheated on him and I showed him the proof.
Instead of being angry, you should be ashamed.
You cheated and you only have yourself to blame.

You tried to convince your hubby that my proof was misleading.
But he could see the truth and he started divorce proceedings.
Because you were unfaithful, the judge didn't give you squat.
The clothes on your back were the only things that you got.

Your good life is gone and that's something you regret.
You once drove a Porsche but now you drive a Chevette.
Because of your infidelity, you were tossed out into the street.
If you ever find another rich man, you'd better not cheat.

Beware of too coy a wife

An unfaithful wife poses coy, 
A spouse too straight perhaps plays fool,
Salty sea feels soothing cool,
Courteous goes fraudulent ploy,
Too sweet a tongue tends to befool.        
_____________________ 
Translation |18.09.2024| wife, coy, unfaithful, sea, water   

Poet’s note: Sanskrit has thousands of verses of wisdom called Subhashhitam. This one is taken from my selection of translations. Wisdom tells us to be wary of tranquil waters. They are deep. So also sea waters that be salty are soothing cool. A wife who is unfaithful  poses coy. And if I may add, an unfaithful husband, tries to look too caring. The transliteration of the Sanskrit verse follows:

A-satee bhavati sa-lajjaa, kshaaram cha sheetalam bhavati |
Dambhah bhavati vivekee, priya-vaktaa bhavati dhoorta-janah ||

A Haunting Love

My biggest fear; is to have my LOVE known as a Haunting LOVE
                  An ambiguous, fearful, unfaithful, ominous LOVE
      Shadows, Silhouettes of the past; screaming  for TRUE LOVE
      Searching the darkness, the emptiness a giant void of despair
      My BELOVED GOD My BELOVED SAVIOR blind LENORE’S
      Eyes with YOUR Universal Light the Brilliance of YOUR GLORY
      Silence HER Ears with the Muic of YOUR VOICE : Prayer and Psalms
      Envelope LENORE’S HEART WITH YOUR AGAPE LOVE
                MY DEAREST and Most  Only BELOVED : LENORE
      May Y O U  NEVER, EVER Know A HAUNTING LOVE

Broken Wedding Vows

I'd like to forgive you but there is no way that I can.
We've only been married for three months and you're sleeping with another man.
When you vowed to be faithful, you were not sincere.
You couldn't even be a faithful wife for half a year.
I found out about your lover and you don't even care that I know.
Unlike you, I intended to be faithful, this is a devastating blow.
When we met, you were pregnant with another man's baby but I didn't mind.
It was stupid when I thought you'd be faithful, I can't believe I was so blind.
You've hurt me beyond belief, you've cut me to the quick.
You broke your wedding vows and you make me feel sick.
When I learned that you were unfaithful, I wanted to believe it wasn't true. 
You're not being faithful to me so I have decided not to be faithful to you.

(Even though this poem isn't about me, it's based on a true story)

Real Men Don'T Cheat On Their Women

God simply made man and woman
to be together for the rest of their lives...
it's a blessing this heedless world
has not fully known;
and it's so rare nowdays
to see two people in love,
and promise each other to be faithful!
Is that all so impossible?

Real men don't cheat on their women,
real men give their whole hearts full of gold
to those who really love them;
I've come to know a good man
who did just that for his woman,
and he still loves her although she's old!

Unfaithful men, would you rather have
an unhappy home or feel a joy
as sublime as the sunrise in glory?
Untrustworthy men, give up what you crave;
you can be the strongest man on earth,
and still can't stop the tears gathered inside!

Real men don't cheat on their women,
real men adore and cherish them 'till they're gone;
to be beside them and share a lovely dream,   
to console and encourage them when they're weak!

The Horse Affair

“Oh! That hurt!” I tried to duck as a vase smashed on my head,

“You rat!” my wife screamed out at me, her face was very red,

“How could you be unfaithful?” she raged at me again,

“I’ve found this piece of paper; so Sally is her name?”

“Now darling hear me out,” I said, “you’ve reached the wrong conclusion!

I can set your mind at rest; there is no real confusion,

Sally is a horse I backed; she was highly recommended,

A filly of the highest breed she’s really rather splendid.”

“Oh what relief” said wife to me “I’m sorry how I acted,

I doubted you, I’m so ashamed, I rather over reacted,”

“No worries” I said with a saintly smile “the incident’s forgotten”

(Even though my head did ache and I felt dazed and rotten), 

So I sat down and rested and soon fell fast asleep,

Until that is another blow stirred my slumber deep,

“Ouch!” screamed I, my head recoiled from a frying pan I think,

My wife was like a demon, was she the worse for drink?

“What have I done, why hit me again?” I shouted with a groan,

“Because you need to wake up - your horse is on the phone!”

The Ache of An Abandoned Wife

She did not have to guess.
She felt it in her bones. 
Unfaithful he always was,
Unfaithful he'll always be.
She knew where he would be.
 
Anger flared in the pit of her stomach,
A heart-wrenching in the ache of fire.
What could she do?  Revenge?
She rejected such thoughts 
Knowing well enough 
She was no match against him.
Why couldn't he love only her?
Why did he leave her dehydrated of love?
 
As in the Fall, her love-like leaves
Fell down, turned brown,
Definitely to be lost forever.
She'll do without him, come what may.
Thus she lay on her settee, love choked,
Folded herself foetus-like,
Relishing the darkness of her abode.
 
Another lonely night, cursing her dreams.
A wave of nausea gripped her soul,
Knew she'll have to take her medication
Before she really turned sick.
She swallowed the two pills,
She would not please him and have more.
But she could not resist
Drinking ruby red dry wine.

She felt confused. Did she swallow her pills?  
Doubt after doubt after doubt.
Her bottle seemed empty. 
So she drank some more.
Finally, she slept 
Alone, abandoned on the settee.

My life is in a quandary.
There is unrequited love 
My dear wife, my love in life
Is watching from above

I mourn her and I miss her 
She was my love, she was my mate 
The bed beside me's empty
I ponder, what's to be my fate

The time has flown and yet has not
I long to hold her tight
Have the joy I had in loving her
To be alone just isn't right

My thoughts and dreams are filled with her
She was the perfect one for me
Still with me in my heart and mind
I still have her spiritually

Lately, thoughts are creeping in
My God, I pray it's no disgrace
Of others I may love also
Although I never can replace

Are these thoughts of mine unfaithful?
Is there cheating on my brain?
Am I supposed to live alone,
Or somehow get back on the train.

There are many others
Who are going through this strife
Our love in life is gone
And we're by ourselves in life

Friends and family are there for us
But it never is the same
As to have our lifetime partners
Who will always share our name

There are many who will read this
Who are in a place like me
We should go where God is guiding
We should follow him and see

Its All An Act

I tell you I’ll be out of town You wear a frown But that’s all part of your plan It’s all an act You think I know not the fact You try to fool me You sob and plead You beg me to stay home some more To cancel my tour You are such an actor You hide the fact that you are a traitor You carry my bags You help me to the car You tell me you love me You cry…false tears You hold my hands You make endless promises You cry some more I kiss your teary cheeks I feign sorrow Your act I borrow Knowing deep in my heart Knowing you are a liar and a cheat Knowing you are unfaithful Knowing you mock our vows Knowing your promises are empty Knowing all your secrets Saying nothing Acting innocent and dumb Hoping our vows still mean something You walk me to the car You promise to stay away from the bar But deep in my heart I know you are a drunk I know all your secrets I know about your mistress I’ve cried secrets tears in distress But today it all ends I’ve seen all the bends Your secret routes and deeds I would no longer play the fool You’ve broken all the rules But today it all ends I won’t get into a fight My future is so bright I hold your hand so tight I let a tear slip I bid you goodbye By Sylvia Chika [email protected] http://sylviachika.blogspot.com/ http://sylviachika.wordpress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/sylviachikablog Twitter:@sylviaoz © SylviaChika 2016

The Practical of the Thoery of Existence

Does everything really exist?
Forgive me I tend to philosophise when I’m pissed
Scientist’s say that energy wants to exist
Like the warmth that you feel when you are kissed?

But they say that energy has to exist in large quantities
Does it mean we should touch not just our fingers but our bodies?
And elementary particles are dependent on others
Mingling the particles by making love quenches the hungers

Now I understand the basic theory of how things exist
Hick! This bottle of JD’s making me feel more and more pissed.

I GOT IT NOW!!!

For all the men that have been unfaithful
This excuse remember it well because it will be useful
One’s wife exists when you see her and hear her nags
To her friends, she ridicules you which sound like she brags

Here’s the science bit.

If you have an argument with your wife, go for a drive
And if you apply this theory correctly you will feel alive.
Because you are alone and therefore, she does not exist
And you have become a bachelor so you should be feeling bliss

Have a few drinks and play around with some women
When you leave them they won’t exist and stop being a lemon
But there is a warning, a warning of war
Never have another nonexistent woman in your house begging for more

For a nonexistent wife has a tendency to walk through the door
And believe me it’s not good trying to drink a bottle of JD to numb pain
When you get stabbed in the back by a nonexistent wife that’s insane….
