☆ – “My Wife”– ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆
☆
My wife is not a very ‘Good Wife’
for she is a ‘Better Friend’
Though she never cooks for me
yet the food tasted always good
For she never ate without me
My wife is not a very ‘Good Wife’
for she never stopped me
Though she never came with me
yet I travelled the distances
for she didn’t stop me
Neither she gave gestures of love
nor the tantrums of hate
yet in silence she thought about me
My wife is not a very ‘Good Wife’
for she loves ‘My’ children more than me
She once was my lover
then bore my children
but became my mother indeed
They bare my name
and will carry my lineage
yet she gave them, her everything
My wife is not a very ‘Good Wife’
for she set me ‘Free’
Oh she loves me now so less
that she bares the pain
As I speak my mind to women
Oh she loves me now so less
that she ‘Understands’
I am Loveless
But My wife is not a very ‘Good Wife’
for she is like my ‘Poetry’
most beautiful only to my eyes
but mundane to others…
