Promise Me Poem by Akhtar Jawad
Promise Me
"Leave me alone." All right I leave, it's everyday strife,
Living with you for years though I am not your wife.
Promise not to remember seeing a few broken hairs on the pillows
And if you remembered me you'll find me on the windows.
Promise me you'll not kiss my lips imprinted on your shirt
And if you kissed the imprints you'll find me after a lot of flirt.
Promise, not to call me when your cell phone you do not find
And if you called me you will find me standing at your behind.
Promise me you'll learn how to break an egg in the kitchen
And if you fail to learn you'll not ask it from a chicken,
If we live here together I shall not use protective any more
You forgot it's my flat, you cannot but I can close its door.
Promise me, you'll marry me, before I carry your child,
If I carry, I in a court of law shall not be polite and mild.
A true picture of a society where men and women live together without marriage.
A very insightful piece of work! Appreciated it! Thanks dear sir for sharing!
live with me enjoy me but don't ask to marry me I love variety as much as you do come live in with me what else will you do but try to find another gal you may not like to compare nor love come and live in we will share all burden equally
It is a wonder that two people can bear to marry each other... bury, yes.... bear with each other, not very happily! ! !
The poem is a fine word-picture of unmarried couples who always quarrel and argue, quite a nuisance to each other...the scene is a bit comical, and it surely makes a good story...Thanks for sharing. Perdita
