Matrimonial Ride

Out of my expectation

He asked me to define marriage

Many have spoken on the matrimonial ride

Mine would be among those many

Yet it might possibly fade with a spirit of time

Marriage for some is a union between woman and a man

Somehow it can be more than that

Perhaps a unity of two souls

It strikes the demons of loneness

To vanquish the demons inside, it needs deep understanding

For many are in the marriage circle, yet are fading in loneness

They shell themselves into a lonely bed

Watching the betray of the soul and heart as one remain untouched

Marriage is not a testament of scarifies

It takes many water drips of two forming a pond

Marriage is not a fare tale dream that await for us to reach

Fate plays its tune, still it's us who creates the final a song

Some seek a partner an image of a savior from drown

Waiting to be swept away with love

I wonder if it exist or it's an imagery of romance

Love is real- the boat of love it needs two to paddle

If not -the wind can turn it over to unexpected direction

Over the unexpected crises communication lapse

Misunderstanding detach us from the soul unity that we were in

Only we find ourselves on a final stage sinking but in a separate ways
