Flawed Woman
She sauntered into the station
Confused, walking to and fro, no directionย
Felt the force of her walk
And heard the ceaseless people talk.ย
Can she be forgiven for this transgression?
Even if she'd shared her candid confession?
And wept the vagueness of her pained yelp
No one tendered her any help.
She's been cut away from this immoralityย
Ostracized, a menace to societyย
Chastised for an unchaste behaviourย
No one could ever save her.
A mother, a wife, a mistress, a flawed womanย
She's not perfect; she's only human
Hopelessly in search for identityย
Has gone astray of this vulgarity.ย
She groaned a soft moan of despair
" Lord forgive me", bid me death, I dare"
She took her last breath and flight
Through the calmness of the night.

so beautiful and so sad.ย
Hi Lisa,ย
I finished reading the 900 pages novel and survived the Reading Marathon as well;12 days long, 6 hours a day, together with 1000 women, in 34 different languages. My most unforgettable experience so far; kind of " history in the making " . The venue was the central railway station of Utrecht, UNESCO'S city of Literature.ย
Thanks for dropping by,
Leah
Very well stated.
Thank you!

Hi LEAH!!.....I found this piece quite compelling in its subject matter and imagery......this is one of those timeless areas where some of the greatest poetry and literature have made their way into the public arena!!...... great sense of rhythm and timing here.......ALL STARS!!.... well done dear poet sister!!....LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo ?โดโค
Hi dear brother poet Tony,
A very classic novel, penetrating psychological insight with an encyclopedic depiction of Russian life in 1870's, an intriguing issue that is still a hot- button today: love, family, morality, process of self-improvement, and everything that makes life feel meaningful.ย
and a desire of a high society womanย to follow her heart. What's wrong with that?
I admire her for wanting to live truthfully and openly.. and suffer with her when society acorns her.ย
But, what I love about this novel is the opening:
" all happy families are alike,ย each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way" .. one of the best opening of any novel.
Thanks for your commentsย
xoxo

My Dear Leah,
It's so nice to see you writing again.ย We all have missed your beautiful works.
Those who suffer from guilt of sin
Are the first to ostracizeย
One who seeks forgiveness
Is ever guilty in their eyes
.
They use them as their scapegoats
To whitewash transgressions of their own
The milk of Human kindness
By them, is never shone
Love,

Felt that far more than I would have expected to in a poem of this length. Beautifully worded. Got into my fast. And made me think of a quote, those now I cant seem to remember who said it. "I will never be a Well Behaved woman".ย
