Dilemma

Two men want to make me a wife What am I to do How on earth do I decide When both seem like a lover true Don't judge me please life is no green dream I have been very careful with myself I stepped away from a love so great Just to be chased by two someone elses So it's Valentine's day in December I want to be fair and honest Both men are a win to remember With a soul like precious Onyx I have to pray the confusion away For love is a gift from above As long as I keep a heart of faith God will show me who to love.

A unique dilemma for sure, Karen. But true, prayer will provide the answer you need. This is a great poem, my friend.

Do the math, Karen. We spend eight hours in bed and sixteen hours out of it. Of eight hours in bed (and this varies) we get five minutes to an hour of ‘up close and personal’ and seven hours to seven hours and fifty five minutes of sleep. Now you need to choose between the guy who makes your skin tingle and the man you hope will be your very best friend in fifty years. I can’t help you with that one! Lovely poem, Karen… enjoyed.

Karen, the conveyance of immense inspiration presents a perplexing quandary... alas! The exquisite interplay of rhymes and the seamless flow of words is great. And I shall echo what was expressed by Anaya, entrusting this matter to the divine providence of God, who shall guide you towards the righteous path.

Dear Sotto Poet. I am always in admiration of how you write even in commentary. You have a style a superior vocabulary that intrigues. Thank you for affirming that God will guide me. I am very fond of them both but nothing destined happens without God. So I will pray and be guided.

You are such a lucky woman, Karen and so are they. You are in a love triangle, one may have what the other doesn't and vice versa, ha together they make the perfect guy. Whatever happens, the last verse "I have to pray the confusion away For love is a gift from above As long as I keep a heart of faith God will show me who to love" shows you really care about both them and yourself. Compelling and I wish you the best! Blessings, Anaya

Oh my Karen what a problem to have!! Two men both wanting and loving you!!Haha…. In all seriousness does not one have an edge over the other or touch your heart More. If you close your eyes which one enters it first? Or which one could you imagine never seeing again and thought overwhelms you? Not an easy situation Karen so just some ideas! Let me know when you decide! Debx
