Desperate Flower

The calendar is no longer a friend, its messages are clumsy numbers working with the clock to drift her from men’s fantasy that’s all she thinks of, life’s self acclaimed orphan with a lonely heart, she curses every evening and bellows everything romantic is now a sent agent of her torture a kissing couple, the obsidian of her own eruption others in her league, happily live beyond this need matrimony is just one viola-type in the pancy garden of life she values their strength coming from whom are her spoil-sports but a dwelling is without walls, if not blessed with marital affection age is marking her as late, for the time to reproduce “I need a man” she screams it, this vacuum is inflatable the edges of her circle come closer and are almost in contact it’s time for the right person to be her hero and unbend her lines.

Hello Funom Makama, oh it takes sometimes awhile to find the right person to settle down with. Some couples that marry do not have children. Because of a late marriage. Some are lucky to marry younger to have children. ther is no age on marriage. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hello Funom Makama, oh - not good to be desperate to be married. That person could scare the other person away. Or marry the wrong person to just have a child. that marriage would not be happy. It is the same here to. Better towait for the right person.y yoor day my friend.

So so true Darlene.. The funny irony of this aspect of life is.... some get desperate to marry because of the perception of time not being on their side. When they finally get into it, they wanna rush out! In Africa, marriage is still a big deal and a woman getting to 35 years begins to feel the heat from relatives and friends to get married. Thank you so much for your comment.
