Freedom from virginity

[osho]

Freedom from virginity

You are celled, cabined and ostracized
You call it marriage
Freedom from virginity

You are ripe in youth
You are flowering in beauty
Fragranced and fulfilled
The spider settles on you
With its dirty string of love

You are tricked into a trust of love

You worship the ritual of love
Helping the generation institutionalize it

You do not know you are ensnared
You do not see you are enmeshed
You do not know you are gnawed
Burning and burning like a candle
You use up yourself to light the spirit of the other

I was taken with the last two lines. So much sorrow, yet so generous of spirit. I think many of us fall victim to this kind of living. It is excessively unhealthy.

If this is negative commentary on marriage and what it can do to the hopes and dreams of young romantic headed woman, I couldn't agree more.

[Buh4Bee]

Yes, Delta, I agree too. I never finished my thought as you did.
