Joyful and jovial you were
Before the conjugal bliss
You cherished and cheered her up
Both were like Romeo and Juliet.
Home a market place
Married but divorced
Children the only bond
Hearts remorseful and thoughtful.
Questions rhetorically asked
Love or lust?
Who did this to me?
How did I get here?
Married but single.
Though some marriages, a contract
by parents,
Women wooed to conjugal
misery,
Bull and battered
Hearts yearn for freedom.
Courtship a chamber of liberation
Premonitory signals abounds
Quit or convey the cross of misery
Marriage is sweet pain.
Retract or retrieve your steps
Before the conjugal vows
A broken relationship speaks
better than a mocking marriage.

Poet's note: This is a socio-religious poem. The poem satires the lipholes in marital affairs. It's cautions partners to study themselves well before getting married. Marriage isn't for boys but for matured minds. If the partners aren't compatible, then no need for marriage in the first place. "A broken relationship speaks better than a mocking marriage"
