Poem Artwork


It is normal to love something or someone,


But is it normal to have conflicting thoughts regards same,


Am I mistaken in my beliefs regards love,


Sometimes I love wholeheartedly like the proverbial glove,


Other times I find myself wondering why I do,


After all isn’t it in reality a kind of game…?


 


Married for twenty years,


Knowing each others fears,


Facing each others tears,


Shopping at Sears…


 


Life & love is a responsibility,


But question do I its social-ability,


Personally I try to use docility,


Keeping my more unapproved thoughts,


Where they cannot be seen nor heard,


I got to be honest though, sometimes I wish,


I could away on the wing fly like a bird…

I think you gotta keep the lust in love, throw in some spontaneity and make it exciting. 'Cause no matter how deep the love, without desire, it fades a bit (in most cases completely).
Great thoughts to ponder here Ed.

Symbiosis make two in love compatibles, a good chemistry which can endure ups and downs for many many years.
Lustt will keep anybody together the time a lightning exploson will last.

The mind is always in conflict with itself. This is very profound, Ed. Good to be at the den, friend "Donny"

life & love is a responsibility that at times seems to weigh us down, we still gladly accept its "burden" ... though at times it would be nice to just take a short flight away ;) ... nice job on this one, Ed ...
