Our Union

                            

My eyelashes bat

After meeting your gaze

From across a

Crowded subway haze.

 

My pupils dilate when they

Look back at you over dinner

Where we drank wine and ate.

 

My feet dance with glee as we

Fall hopelessly in love

In the midst of summer heat.

 

My heart splits apart

To become your wife

And your forever sweetheart.

 

My legs spread

Open to bare new life

And see your cheeks rosen.

 

My arms push

You away at night,

I'm too tired for a sex life.

 

My fists rage and tears pour,

When I discover your arms

Embracing another lover

After coffee one early morn.

 

My ears listen to

Your words of regret and

Pleads for a second chance

For things to be like

When we first met.

                

My fingers dial

Seeking third party counsel

To repair our shattered union.

 

My brain waves

Shift to understand your

Thoughts and your feelings, 

While I bitterly convey my own.

 

My hand re-opens

To forgive your sins

And make amends.

 

My lips part to

Receive your kiss in the

Night in a sea of

Skin in our warm bed.

 

My heart flutters,

We’ve truly become one,

Years after we bore our son.

Awe this was a cute poem. I really loved it...I felt bad that he cheated on her though. Many people who cheat are idiots. I've been cheated on so I know how she must have felt when she found out. I thought you did a good job. Thanks for sharing. :)

the innings and outings of love ~ i'm still trying to figure out if this love thing is worth those plentiful years of living death but i'm glad it worked out in this case.

a long journey that many do not make

Love was stronger here, it seems, then the pain of betrayal. He was lucky that's for sure. A lot of people can't forgive that kind of betrayal, it's like the worse you can do to someone you're in love with, cheat.

This was like riding a barrel over niagra falls after a moonlight dinner, only to be caught by a stork and carried back up top. Fantastic wording full of alot of energy! Great Ink!

Hugs! - Wolfie

The cycle of love and life. I liked the natural, varied emotions in this write, and the way you leaped back and fro in time. Thank you for sharing.

[Tate Morgan]

It is definitely a poem about you

[Dream Weaver]

Love is a four letter word that falls under many assuptions.
Love as in genuine or love as a lusting sort..Either way you've
described this brilliantly and character, nicely done Marie...
