AMENDED

A decisive stance on the edge of the cliff,
Leaving almost all behind,
Taking along only the neccesary
To start a new phase of life itself
Joining soul to soul,
Spirit to spirit,
Body to body.
Fulfilment of union carries joy in its wings,
A peace that only this can give,
And super ideas flow,
The needed are chosen, handled
Modified to build the tightly knit unit.
Initially unity ties the knot
Keeping home and hearth,
Defence very present like a watchdog;
Then time commits its usual sin
The sin of locomotion
Rendering opportunity for external influence
To hammer its poison into the solid fabric.
The entire mix changes,
Sweet turning sour,
Strong becomes weak
And initial sacrifice for the union
Rendered a waste, useless;
Still a glossing over is expected,
Stay changeless in the face of challenges?
But no
Only immortal changeless factor is change.
Offended half shifts to accommodate change,
Characteristics take on new hues,
Clarity of expression is shelled,
Idea sharing shelved,
Open show of affection diminished
And the soul stands amended.
