Found: Key to Marriage

May 30, 2008 | Filed Under Family, Life balance 

A Marriage

Even after
34 years,
minus a day or two,
of marriage,

words still count

remarks still caress
or cut

heat inflames
or ignites

passion wanes
and explodes
(yes, both kinds)

differences surface
as similarities flow steady

visions merge one day
and split with force another

and 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 personalities

and perhaps that was the key.

    what you have is a good relationship… many fall into the category of indifference after a time,, and then there is no feeling attached to anything.. i feel those are the most dangerous of all….
