Perennial Thorn

He embraces her~
         whispering love
                     but his dubious heart
         is perennial thorn
that pricks her bosom
over and over again.

Once "pricked," she'd be well advised to avoid him. Who knows why some people stay with abusive spouses. Very compelling, JCB. And it appears congratulations are in order. Well done! Best wishes, Carolyn
