Untraditional Woman  

PhD In Love
By: Azza El Wakeel

My cavalier;
Before you pass through my heart
you must get a visa
from my guarding mind
standing like radar'
You have to pass
a lie-detecting test
Succeed in psychoanalysis
You must have worthiness, courtesy
and delicacy certificates
Be noble and affectionate
in human relations
Must have a masters in rules
of taking care of a woman
and making her happy
You must admit respecting her
in writing
Record all your pledges in a contract
If you break any of its terms
I'll prosecute you with no sympathy
nor mercy
With conditioned penalties
I'll abolish maximum punishment
Don't expect me to be sacrificed
or destroyed in our relation
Don't expect me to be redemptive
Nor keep loving you
from one side
Nor to adopt you and consider you
my spoilt child
I won't try to educate
or nurture your compassion
I don't intend to open a school
Teach a schoolboy how to express
his senses and feelings
and the art of romance
My heart has one class
With only one place
For a professor gained A PhD in love
