Divorce

THE RISE AND FALL 
        
First rays of sunrise
Two lovers bloom with the light
So soon the sunset.

THREE’S A CROWD

First there were two just you and me
then you decided to make that three
the same line you spun to hooks us both
this fool full of anger full of wroth
a new life now across the sea.

PROMISES PROMISES

In Church a promise we made to each other
In Court a promise we made to each other.

my opinion for what it is worth, is fiction gives licence to the imagination. Harry. Very close to the fact, Harry. Smile! It does cause us trouble at times. Before we turn the mind loose on it own, we need to learn how to shut it down first. "Good Luck In The Contest!" Agape, Moses
