Dedu Son Poet Quatrain

To Love Cherish and Batter

He solemnly swears,
In sickness and in health;
He pledges to her,
Love and wealth.
Promises were broken and shattered love,
Jealousy that out ways reason;
Doubts, corruptness, and failures,
Min in tatters and outdone.

She wears sunglasses sometimes,
Not to protect her eyes from the sun;
Long sleeves to cover her arms,
A punch if she looks at anyone.

He loves her dearly,
He owns her or so he thinks;
Mistrusts every step she takes,
His mouth speaks his words that stink.

For sickness and in health they pledged with rings;
He shows his hate when her neck he wrings.

Martin Braun November 27, 2018 at 5:42 PM I think you got mentally hung up at "Promises were broken and shattered love," and I don't know that "min" is in "Min in tatters and outdone." I like the topic, and I think there is a very deep well of emotions and ideas which can be explored. If you were abused and witnessed abuse I believe you need to include those dark spaces and not hold back. That's just my thoughts and I want to thank you for taking on such an emotional subject.
