Relationships

Can a relationship last without trust,
How long will a relationship last without genuine love,
What do you see when you look into your partners' eyes,
How do you feel when they are in your arms,
Are you comfortable with your sprouse,
Do you still see the sparks when you kiss,
Feel the energy when you curl up beside each other,
Do you still play and laugh with each other,
Or is abuse slowly creeping in,
Do you still make plans talk about future events,
Don't let your relationship become a daily drag,
Trust,genuine love,comfort,communication and care,
The spieces of a great relationship,
Season your relationship well,
And enjoy a life filled with love and more love...

This poem reads volumes to me for my belief follows the pattern of trust,love,communicating and care- support (mentally,emotionally, spiritually and financially, are the keys components) to any great relationship!

This is such a truthful piece, but sad to say most of us are lacking in that loving relationship status. Great message here Rich!! One love. Joy Wells.

Ohhhh, what truth you speak. A relationship void of trust is no relationship at all. You have no idea how close this hits to home. Another great write... Lay

Trust is a thing of the past in the minds of those that go into relationship. It is individual interest that matters. lovely work and I know your poems as reality, truthful and outstanding. Alfred.
