Save It Or Leave It

Oh Love- how it sweeps in and grabs two hearts It makes two souls never want to part The excitement and wonder that feels the spirit Negates any cynicism, it just won't hear it There's courting, commitment, even marriage Time brings a bundle in a baby carriage Circumstances get harder and money gets tight It often feels that nothing goes right Words are spoken and feelings get sore It just isn't the way it was before The fighting gets frequent-- part of everyday life He shuts down and she's a discontented wife They both hurl around the word divorce And after the battles, there's no remorse The mind rules the ego and shuts down the heart Husband and wife spend more time apart Baby's in the middle; it's a cryin' shame Mommy and Daddy are pointing the blame Somthing's got to give, what will it be? Could love be gone so completely? Save it or leave it are the only two choices Listen to your heart and no other voices.

Yes it is a pity that this becomes real all the time. People change as time passes but there are never good reasons for fights. Very well written Rhyme, Kimberly! Keep your pen flowing...Gert

You have pictured so common a happening truthfully, Kimberly. I sympathise with the girls that face this situation. Many homes are broken, many hearts are crushed. Unfulfilled desires are the demons behind this. I quote a Quatrain from my book Rubai'yat of Josh Malihabadi -A Drop & the Ocean: O wise! Be happy even if affliction pressed/ Be not in search of comfort obsessed/ The flame of desire of non-existent burns you/ Enjoy, enjoy the morsel possessed. Thanks for your comments on my poem. - Mo

I love this! This is my favorite new poem! Maybe its because I can relate so well as a divorced mom, but still the way you brought the words together and conveyed such an incredible real message is totally amazing! Thank you for your own comment on my poetry! I look forward to reading more of yours!

YOu are a wise lady. I think I listen with my mind and not my heart. Otherwise, I'd have been divorced 30 years ago. I think if people waited it out, they might see things can get better! Thanks for your welcome comments. Andrea
