He's Just A Married Man

[GEETASHREE]

The tender leaves
Float in his voice
A shine glows deep
Like a moon beam
On a starlit night
His crystal eyes
Mirror a smile
Dreams skirt around
On the marbled floor
Step to step
Rhythm to rhythm
Hands outstretched
Fingers clasped
But still amiss
Is the lonely touch
The nearness
The warmth
Of fingers and lips
So close yet so far
So distant in hold
Faithless but bold
Passes by a song unsung
The empty footfalls
Cocoon a moment
Intimate and gone
A gaiety so fake
Laughs aloud
As the harshness
Of sunshine
Pours on them
A moment is stilled
Gathered again
In distance surround
Promises broken
Words unleashed
Yet unspoken
A wish, a hope
Pulsates within
Hisses under his
Laboured breath
And robs him off
The words that freeze
With lifeless chains
He’s bound to an oath
Long forgotten

Is this a soliloquy of a married woman undergoing some experiences? The mess of pains and pleasures?

This is just an observation on a married man. His bondage, his desire to be free of the bondage, his unfulfilled desires because of his bondage...............you can impute any meaning as you want! There is no involved opinion in the lines

Can you explicate it? What kind of bondages inhibits him from fulfilling his desires? What desires are they he cannot fulfill? When a person marries there are a variety of desires – sexual, familial, and social and the like. And what bondages he wants to free from? I have read the poem but there are certain aspects the poet wants to keep buried. Can you grace me and the rest of readers here for that matter by illuminating it?

A poetry is a personal journey.
The poet does not wish to run the risk of over-explanation by going into detailed analysis of work. What is not easily understood should be left unread.

When you put your feelings on paper you want someone to read it, don’t you Geeta? When you have a host of readers in mind while jotting them down, but leaving the readers mystified is injustice. Poetic injustice

I jot down my musings on paper because I feel like doing so.

But why go into all this?

What exactly do you want to know?

Be specific.

I dislike jargons.

The bondages that mar the man's his desires from fulfilling. This line needs illumination

Bondages are never external. They are internal. Bondages are generally self-created or self-imposed. In every relation, be it a man or a woman, a breathing space is required. May be that has prompted me to write these lines. These were written on an impulse. So don't be afraid if you are planning to get married.
no hassle!
