My Wife And I

Rating: 4.5


My wife and I are one
And the same if I say
I am wrong and it is a mistake.

But When my wife drank
I also engaged in drinking
When my wife dined
I also used to dine with her
When my wife chewed
I used to chew along with her
When my wife sang
I also sang
When my wife cried
I also cried
When my wife laughed
I also laughed
When my wife walked
I also walked behind her
When my wife would stand still
I would also stand still
When my wife would lie down in bed
I would also follow and lie down with her
When my wife sat
I would also sit
When my wife heard something
I would follow her to hear the same thing
When my wife saw something
I would also look at it
When my wife smelled something
I would follow her to smell the same thing
When my wife touched something
I would also touch it
When my wife was lamenting
I had to follow her in lamentation
When my wife felt enjoyment
I also enjoyed
When my wife was satisfied
I also felt satisfaction.

Let me clear
I am captivated and I am cheated
In my whole existence
In this material world.
I am just like a pet
And dance according to
The order of my master- desire
And I am going to lost.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

For most part of the poem the poet treats wife as a friend, all actions meant to please her. Wife devotes her life for her man. Renunciation must be a mutually agreeable situation and not a one way decision. I don't seem to agree with conclusions of cheating and feeling like a pet. I liked the way the poem started off.

Where there is attachment there is no knowledge, nor is there a question of devotional service.
