Notes About The Poem

Robert J. Lindley, 9-10-2018
Sonnet, (Love and Regret, Chained Together),(Sad Lives)

Note- Written about two people I knew them both many decades ago.
Over 40 years now  and they are still together.
Seems they each learned to forgive and lived happily after all.
Love is also about forgiveness....

Each Swearing, One Day More, Just One Day More

Each Swearing, One Day More, Just One Day More

Moon was waning, much needed sleep gaining
both lovers tired of heartache explaining.
One cried, there is the exit door take it
I alone will surely fair well, make it.

Other lover cried, yes, I bet you could
with the guy, that has been chopping my wood.
There is the door, why don't you just take it
I was real my love, I didn't fake it.

Silence stood hard, from naked truths given
both lovers needed to be forgiven.
Then sleep overtook both their warring dreams
soon would come morning sun soft golden gleams.

They dressed, then ate and kissed at the front door.
Each swearing, one day more, just one day more!
