Two-Timers

Simultaneous the sting,
Those who two-time on the wing.
Each at fault began the fling.
Subterfuge, a complex thing.

Schedules smeared and rearranged.
Missing gaps in time explained.
Lies to memorize, maintain.
Learn the lying details game.

Shelf life of adultery
Locked away for none to see.
Those who trusted while deceived,
Hold, and rightly so, the key.

As for as their conscience...who knows. Thanks for the kind, supportive comment. It means a lot...Your friend...Gene.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/26/2014 10:09:00 PM very good writing. You nailed the topic with a very suitable form! I gotta check out when you first came here to Soup. Login to Reply Gene Bourne Date: 6/27/2014 6:41:00 AM Hi, Andrea. I started on PS the first of this year. ( I have a slight "shy" streak ) It's a welcomed relaxed and friendly atmosphere. So many great writers here, including you. I tend to be too much of a loner...and need to start socializing and meeting members. I will.... .. gradually. Thanks so much for reaching out and the encouragement you bring...Your PS friend, ....Gene.
