SONG OF DIVORCING (CRAZY STANZAS IN SONG)

She was bright

When she said she was right

“You need no fright

Because coupling makes life light”

And my mind went quiet because I needed no fight

It was her time and I needed her bright

But now she sings like an owl, after three stone throws, her pained songs to me

After her forever after never turned to be

CHORUS

Please Ceci don’t be a fool

Choose no one who’ll use you as a tool

After using you like a bull

He will sit on you like a stool

Get a donor and create a whole

So you don’t end up in a smoking hole

II

My heart breaks in pieces

Seeing the breakage of her peaces

How happy she was telling me and her nieces

How only the jealous does the hisses

Now she hisses

Cursing the kisses

Saying it was blinding

When she turns to me, my heart is grinding

CHORUS

Please Ceci don’t be a fool

Choose no one who’ll use you as a tool

After using you like a bull

He will sit on you like a stool

Get a donor and create a whole

So you don’t end up in a smoking hole

III

What sours great coupling?

What cripples their soaring?

What are the ingredients so damaging

As to taint their experiencing?

I hate her singing

I hate to see her heart hanging

I hate her whining

When she sings in advising

 

CHORUS

Please Ceci don’t be a fool

Choose no one who’ll use you as a tool

After using you like a bull

He will sit on you like a stool

Get a donor and create a whole

So you don’t end up in a smoking hole

IV

I know now it is true

Flyers know the speed of the air

They are the taken who have faced them square

So sent in brute directions, they tend to be brute

Turned to right directions, they tend to be cool

So I am listening and lip-biting

Knowing it might cool off when another pleasure storm sets in

For now I will listen to her cruel song

CHORUS

Please Ceci don’t be a fool

Choose no one who’ll use you as a tool

After using you like a bull

He will sit on you like a stool

Get a donor and create a whole

So you don’t end up in a smoking hole

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

One of the most painful things I have ever been through is watching my sister’s marriages degrade and become toxic to them. Their pain was felt as if it were my own. I wept many a tear for them and my nieces and nephews. When love turns poisonous it ravages all connected to the broken couple including the couple. It is a very tortuous event to witness but so much more vile if you are the couple or the children of the couple. Of course, it is the children who suffer profoundly. My own parents dragged us through a toxic, vindictive divorce so I know well the long term negative effect it has upon the kiddos. This is a great poem of strength with wonderful imagery. Thanks for sharing it Cecilia.
