The Union Of Two. Poem by Tony Adah

In the lush garden of yore
Of flowers assorted
A twosome nut was tied
Quintescent of love
Desired but unfulfilled
Since this vow was taken
Witnessing man and woman
By the holy hand of God
A damp cast of woes
Is upon the head of man.

Oftentimes the nut is tight
Sometimes the nut is half tight
At other times the nut is loose
And man's tyres wobble
And his face full of grimace.

The union is an irony of some sorts
Those who this nut have tied
Are jostling to come out of a furnace
Still those out of this ring
Are seriously knocking
On someone's door
But the union of two
Has become a burden of two
A duel and a war
For temporal things.
