Tell It Like It Is

Oh, it’s a complete package— Love and sex, You cannot have one without the other. I love my parakeet but I cannot go do… You know what I mean?! But sex alone is A pitfall, a delightful deceit, A black widow, a chimera, a mirage-- A romantic nonsense! It is ephemeral, a concubine of time; It shackles our free will, Curbs our freedom… A momentary bliss, Lifetime to rue! Love is a misnomer; If love means worship It is God, If it means companionship It is a spouse, If it means camaraderie It is a friend; But put together— Love and sex, They can either be: The pinnacle of bliss Or The pit of abyss! ~10/27/22 ~Contest: "Tell it like it is" ~Sponsor: Mystic Rose Rose.

The last lines of your poem are the best, Abdul. Many of us have experienced both, unfortunately. Nothing surpasses the joy of a good marriage, nor the misery of a bad one!
