life, a precious stone smoothed by sadness weathers away in the deluge of my tears. me, a once beautiful gem with perfect cut, color and clarity-- now marred by defeat.
is not a marriage founded by respect, turned desire? is it not something warm and beautiful? is it not a lifelong end to searching through a card catalog of dreams?
laughter, comforts me in its routine. binds me one more time. while emptiness twice astounds memories of longing. there is a moat around duty surgically sealed by the oath of love, on a marble slab, beneath broken glass.
I demand to be loved I demand it
my will, it weathers away as I die again today muffled by silence drowning in the current of not there.
Well written, but so very sad. I love the lines:
I demand to be loved;
I demand it
Something so many of us are saying, but who is listening?

If I didn't know how much this hurt, I would be applauding your work.
I love you, as much as any married man who has his balls in a locked security box can.
This is very good. Wonderful poetic question in S2. I love S3 and final stanza. Enjoyed.

Greetings Poet Sara Michaeli-Coslett.
This is a very powerful write, Poet!!! Life IS very precious, and with constant love, affection and tender care from a loving partner, it can be the most awesome and rewarding feeling on Earth!!! One must always be prepared to go the extra mile to ensure it doesn’t wither away. For love not given freely is not worth having. Peace thru Love.
