If We Do

I can see him yet we’ve never met The thought of the greeting is bringing me to sweat I can hear him a voice on a phone line Should I continue to, or decline? We are miles away in different places With only a photo to put names to faces His dreams and aspirations he shares for now Should I try to forget this somehow? A responsible father a husband home alone Somewhere in a room concealed in the zone Trying to feed his humanity and family alike Pen to paper, pencils to sketch movement in a passion I can feel him and relate to his creativity Is it an addiction or just sexual curiosity? Two people lost in a web of life One with a husband the other with a wife Will they ever meet? And sip the wine of deceit The fear, the excitement of the possibilities Falling into the arms of discreet liabilities If we do

This is a write that many will be able to relate with on one level or another. Vivid imagery and can feel the confusion emanating...thanks so much for sharing and for your kind comments on my work~Mary

If these two people are unhappy why do they live in this unhappy state. To cause deceit is not the way to solve a problem. Heavens there are so many unattached people in this world why would someone want to attach themselves to what sounds like emotional baggage. How about If we don't. This is playing with fire.
