When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck men risk theirs.

Hurts and shortfalls
Man marries the woman he desires.
Woman desires the man she marries.
It is the fate of marriage thrust.
Tolerance wipes out hurts and shortfalls.

A Young Man Marries A Virgin
The bridegroom rejoices with the bride as,
A young man marries a virgin;
And you will be married to me becaue of the delight of your love.
Instead of bronze, i will bring you gold for your love;
Instead of iron, i will bring you silver for your love;
Instead of ordinary stones, i will bring you precious stones for your love;
Ans as a young man marries a virgin,
Because the truth is all noted very well in the village of love and peace!

A Meeting
Queen, widowed Mother of a widowed child,
Whose ancient sorrow goeth forth to meet
Her new-born sorrow with parental feet,
And tearful eyes that oft on hers have smiled,
Will not your generous heart be now beguiled
From its too lonely anguish, as You greet
Her anguish, yet more cruel and complete,
And, through her woe, with woe be reconciled?
Or if this may not be, and all the years
Of love's bereavement be withal too brief
To bring slow solace to still lengthening grief
For loss of One whom distance but endears,
Surely to Both will come some sad relief,
Sharing the comfort of commingled tears.

Her venue; The veranda
She promised him to recite the one line poem since a long time
At last she said; 'I love you.'
But he said; ' Sorry, I have already engaged with your widowed sister.'
The poor poetess swallowed the bitter pill under the roofed terrace.

Lily In One Hand
The frong jumps into the water and,
The tadpole swims with joy!
But, how was it when you first made love?
Give me my medicine and i will tell you the truth,
Give me the roses of love and i will tell you the past,
Give me the peace of the mind and i will tell you the future;
For sex to some people is like taking tea daily!
Whether they are married or not,
Whether they are in love or not,
So learn how to plant a cocoa tree at the rigt time,
For broad is the way that leads to hell!
The sun for the blacks and the cold for the whites,
Summer for the blacks and winter for the whites,
But, what are people suppose to do in heaven?
For the great wine is now on the table.
Misruled by kings,
Misruled by queens,
Misruled by rulers,
Living in a foll's regime;
But the earth fades away,
And i will blossom like a lily.
You have tasted the flowers of her love,
But i will shine like a star!
And like an olive tree in the land of joy! !
But in plausible situation,
The trees of her garden are what attracted you!
A man 46 marries a 20 year old lady,
The difference is 26;
A man 58 marries a 32 year old lady,
The difference is 26;
A man 43 marries a 17 year old lady,
The difference is 26;
And they all ate the food of love!
But, a nude woman bestrides a lion with a lily in one hand.

When a man's friend marries, all is over between them.
He marries best who puts it off until it is too late.

Safe-house
Residents are ghosts;
sheet-covered
in every room.
Figures in armchairs
television news blazing,
sheets barely moving as they breathe.
In the kitchen,
a woman’s drape
marries her to the oven.
Upstairs, the sleeping forms
of children bedded down
for a long night.
Dust and ash fall inexplicably
not touching a soul.

What Seemingly Is Vis-a-vis What Really Is
at the shop all the while what you may see is that
the two are merely haggling on a piece of cloth
a woman customer quite long asking for the right color
always asking the man that she does not like this and that
she feels the cloth silky on her hands above the man's hands
between the sheet as their mouths keep talking about the price
their eyes are speaking about something else hidden beneath
what she is really after all, she at her 40's widowed for 2 years
he at his 20's looking for a a sugar-coated mama.
