David Smith Poet Romanticism

What can one say without judging

Hard not to biased when one is a sucker for romance.

Hard not to be judgmental when you see a lack of romance,

Hard not to keep from showing concern for  those who,
  have bought into a living apart romance,

Hard to hear they are serious when sign of romantic gestures
    are thin on the ground. 
When they are both running around. 
When sharing more of each others time and resources 
   would seem more sound.

Hard not to make a prediction
When he brings his cans to encourage her to to lose her Inhibition
Knowing she drinks to just short of addiction.

But it is the modern way,
So who can say,
They are not the exception,
And it will work for them until their final extinction.

All I know is my Mum was an inspiration
As even after being let down by men of her generation,
She risked more degradation
And the last twenty years of her life gave her great satisfaction,
Proving that if you want romance it does still exist,
Even if one can no longer do the twist,
For those who keep to the script.
Which says that life without a touch of romance,
Makes it hard to see how to a life enhance.
Given not give many chances to dance in tune,
When even passions too often shared alone.

So, without judging  I just pray that the modern way,
Will not stop romance coming into play,
For those who see living a part,
From those dear to their heart,
Is not worth the risk of things falling apart.

But I will stick to giving advice in poem ,
As living apart 
Might not be the end,
For those who can still bend.
