My two wives

[ايهم]

Hi All, I hope you will like my poetry, and by the way I have only one wife and I do love her hahaha

Two Wives

Ayham Al Rashed lost his wife

Neighbors said he took her life

Did he poison or strangle or smother

Howsoever, he married another

A shy and un-suspicious thing

She wore the first wife’s wedding ring

Asleep she lay where the first wife’s head

Had pillowed itself on that fateful bed

But she woke at midnight shivering

A cold hand plucked at her marriage ring

And a voice at her ear had a graveyard tone

“Give the dead her own”

Ayham woke at his young bride’s scream

Up he sprang and brought some candles

But ghostly wife has elfin sandals

He swore to his bride it was just a dream

He lifted her hand in the candles gleam

“I’ll wager my all that it’s still on”

But –Lord Have Mercy!—the ring was gone
