Auspicious rings are exchanged holy priest
with a same weird slurp proclaims
them man & wife, little did they
they know, the perpetual struggle
is the fate they signed for.
From now on they are soul mates
in epic fashions of their parents who
till lived agreed on almost nothing,
It’s all but the lawful decree…
After years of challenge against a planned
disregard, one will succumb take a
beat and offer incessant yeses
impromptu head-nodes, several
conceited smiles, a reassurance
that I am still listening,
An affirmation that the ring from Christies
is still shining bright, then there are days
of extortions, money- launderings just
when situation seems under control
bachelor St. Valentines is approaching
with 1000-dollar bills…
More blackmails and menaces are insight
monstrous-in-law are heard knocking
on the front-doors, opportunist kids
slid through back-doors waiting for
the right moment, siding always
with the opposite party.
Finally silent negotiations are made on
the dinner tables, where sizzling hot
pies are served, each disgruntled
soul thinking I deserve the best
piece of that pie…
So good!!

And they died fighting like Hamlet and Laertes with knife in hand fighting over the last piece of pie.
Absolutely, you got it my friend no dilemmas here, after all they are soul mates, remember !
And they end up like filet of soul. 😄

Kareem I am glad you enjoyed, it was meant to be to a dark humor. Truly appreciate your insight :). Peace

Your insight is much better. We are often flawed in our representations of marriage and love – Especially through movies – Dark humor indeed but very honest. Be safe, see you around.
Well there are two sides of coin, since most are very good in showing one side, I thought let me bring up the other one 🙂
Brave 😊
