The Divorce Poem by Anuj Tikku

The Divorce



We were inseparable the two of us
When our eyes first meet at the airport
She was tall slim and fair
I was short and plump
together we made a wonderful pair
now I sit in my lonely room with despair
surrounded by emptiness all around
my divorce comes back to me to hound
Yes sir we were in love the two of us
Got married instantly without a fuss
But the monotony of life took something away
Till we grew further and further each day
Her sweet words no more sound like melody
I still remember when we first made love
Uncageing her breasts like sweet doves
Her naked body tasted like nectar
Now the same body feels so course
Oh I want a divorce for sure
Her moans use to sound like tinker bells
But now their sound ravage my ear drum
She was the one who reduced me to a bum
She fled with her lover one fine day
Casting me forever at bay
Never to return into my life
Never to say that she use to be my wife
Two young hearts withered away
Through divorce proceedings as they say
The law then took it's course
Granted divorce by mutual consent
Rs 3000 was the bribe I gave to the clerk
To hurry up the proceeding and grant us our wish
I burned the photo's from our marriage album
Smoked some pot and had some rum
