A marriage is no boxing ring A marriage is no politics of scorpion king A marriage is no story of traumatized wife A marriage is a definition of pure love and peace/// excellently expressed in this stanza about the marriage and it's characteristics; though sometimes I feel the marriage is the torture cell of two independent minds yet here it feels that mutual understanding can make this marriage heaven; congrats for being selected this poem as POD..........5*******
Oh my God! Absolutely shocking, captivating imagery. Well-done!
A painful and hear-rendering read, no human being should ever have to suffer the pain and abuse and indignities of this kind, especially from someone who is suppose to love you. This is not just a poem but a horror story of suffering, I wish this is a cruel fiction but the reality is to easy to bare. Thank you Alison, I wish you safety and happiness.
