Marriage 2014 Poem by AKELLA S. RATNAM

Two happy beings thrown together on long journey
Happily hover on honeymoon heights
Promised progeny provide pleasure plentiful

Time travels; glow and warmth of togetherness wanes;

Impregnable silences improbable fallacies and

Fluctuating fortunes result in fissures in familial fora.
.
Education and pedigree culture and civilization

Play truant. Wedlock rocks on petty differences

Egos surface and storms break to throw them asunder

Never to face each other and offspring.

Present predicament predicted the wise?
