A MarriageEven after
34 years,
minus a day or two,
of marriage,words still count
remarks still caress
or cutheat inflames
or ignitespassion wanes
and explodes
(yes, both kinds)differences surface
as similarities flow steadyvisions merge one day
and split with force anotherand commitment strengthens
fingers entwine
as schemes burst into fruition
between grins and wonder
at how on earth we got this far
and how much we want to stay
as one heart - and two personalitiesand perhaps that was the key.

To All:
Whether you stop to read my words with comprehension or skip quickly through them,whether you stumble on my poetry or seek it, whether you love my words or see little value -- the very act of your pausing here fuels the writer in me and warms the human me.
Thank you! -
