The bench lovers pool

I felt like writing on this and I wrote:)

Sitting cross-legged on a rustic entryway bench,

He asked me a simple question,

"Do you believe in love?"

         I laughed at the absurdity of the situation.

Drawing his attention to that fact that the question was in no way simple!

                 He shrugged and chucked it,

Only to invent a more complicated question,

 "Okay,so do you believe in marriage--having kids and a happy family and blah blah?"

 I laughed again with the firm surety that this time,however,he wasn't going to change his question.

It was a question of my impending motherhood !

I blinked my eyes and revealed the truth, the truth that I was trying to tell myself.

Here it goes:

"I believe, I am complete.

               Never did I feel the need to search for my so called " the other-half"

Never did I walk to a pharmacy to buy the poison of love

    After all,I was penniless,

Waiting for an allowance from my father the next day.

 But,sometimes,I feel to taste this poison.

They say you die slowly In the process of love.

I feel like I am a caring and loving wife and mother.

Yes,sometimes I really feel close to this"

 But,at the very next moment,the whole thing looks silly"

Fatty, you are skilled at swordplay (s -- wordplay), you parry, deflect, and tamp your opponent's words, but you never answer the questions.
Do you believe in Love and Marriage; or are they silly and self-serving concepts devised by insecure people desperate for constant and (hopefully) dependable companionship???

Yes, I never use that "to the point" theory when it comes to answering some questions. I parry , I deflect!
These topics drive me mad!the entire problem of 'to feel ' or 'not to feel' is found muddled up in a deep, reserved corner of my mind which refuses to chat with my heart amd convey any emotions.
but great observation.you hit the nail on the head:)
