Notes About The Poem

" PROMISED BLISS " MY PHOTO, ©

Explosive Device

Egoism,

This potentially explosive device

That unobserved is lurking on

The foundations of every relationship

Could easily go off at every given moment

Because

It may be triggered by:

A misused word

A misunderstanding

A disrespectful remark

An ironic look

Or

Even an inappropriate gesture

And by doing so

Is capable to bring down the edifice of love

That

So painstakingly is built,

Throughout the years by the participants,

Would be wise to be disarmed by both parties  

Before

It explodes and chatters all dreams and

Aspirations

Of

The hearts and souls involved

Leaving 

Behind only the ruins of their 

Promised bliss!

Tom Cunningham March 6, 2021 at 1:35 AM It would certainly cause a great divide in any relationship Demetrios, even those built on a solid ground. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis March 6, 2021 at 5:05 AM Thank you so much for your lovely visit and comment, my friend, Tom! Blessings!
