(j) 18 (General) In The Mind Of A Man Poem by Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean

When your wife bores you, your environment bores you
When you feel she is not a woman...enough to excite you too

When you feel she is not your friend...she just wants to control your life
When you just want her to do your errands....after all, she is your wife

And you find her good friend exciting, the other one stimulating
Looking at your wife...ughh! Looking at her...you want to sing

When you are ready to throw all of them out of your life
Reassuring yourself that they will be fine....will survive without any strife

Your growing son will surely forgive and understand
That the father wanted to pursue his passion grand

That he never had the time or the inclination to lend an ear
It always had to be the mother to run around and take care

When you drown in depression, and shut yourself out
Not able to understand why the friend cant return your emotions devout

When you feel compassion is useless....I, Me, Myself is the only reality
Rest can take a march...Is that an end to your duality?
