Rigidity& Fragility Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

by Freeyad Ibrahim

Women can accept tragedy but never hostility
They never forget sharp words within their ability

Forgetting a verbal insult is an old-fashioned responsibility
Accepting physical insult is beyond all her possibility

Be kind with her to have kindness back to you
This makes her unbreakable in her breakability

Be flexible if she asked you of something inflexible
For flexibility for a woman demands creativity

Be sweet to get her much sweeter and lovelier,
For her sweet words work away your toxicity

You don't need honey with butter for breakfast
Nice words turn into sugar your bitter acidity

Do not regard her poor if her incomes are low
For she, in spite of poverty, possesses nobility

Talk to her to her soul, not to her mind
For women are well known for their sensitivity

If you are far from her, you feel lost and lonely
Nothing is demanded beyond her vivid vicinity

Despite you are much powerful in your muscles,
She has got much more power in her elasticity

Your wife does not need your attention only,
She needs much more loyalty than creativity

The difference between calmness and calamities
is almost the same between dryness and humidity

Let her smile if she feels distressed in difficulty
Let her laugh if she once lacks positivity

Build her no mansions, or specious palaces
Build her just a life full of responsibility

A hut with no door or windows for her to be happy,
is better than a mansion, if sad, with all facility

A hut in which a woman laughs in certainity
is better than a palace in which she cries in uncertainty
