The Sordid Affair

There's money___then there's love
Looking back at him __desiring 
Brief encounters above
Husband's comments deriding

So handsome fire__home ice
Guilt, shame, remorse____desire
One last glimpse maybe twice
Marriage but children__can't transpire

Inner turmoil__wishing
Should I walk away now
Turn turn around running
We'll say the wedding's vow

It does not pay to fool around once married, always get caught sooner or later..thanks on sheep...coyotes are cowards, don't be afraid of them...takes 4 to catch a cotton tail..I have a caught millions of them on the ranch...only bad when they have rabbies?? Danny

i like this write Sara, i really do.one feels love for another, though they aren't his/hers.and yet, it's still love.this problem can have meanings that are so perplexed at times that mean more beyond the issue. you feel sorrow, is this wrong? the question they should ask themselves is what was this for?... awesome poem Sara.just great. -Always&Forever Lynette
