Soft Surrender

Running towards the darkened sky,

            

   shadows casting sadness upon my face

                 why, oh why,

 are we fighting again?

                 a foolish thing to do,

is it not?

          Hoping to find answers to ease the heartache

                              

                  this agonizing  pain and anger felt

and turn the sharper edge of love's fate

              into soft surrender

of  a sun-filled destiny

             meant for two lovers 

 to share

I like the idea of reconciling differences, becoming a unified couple.The two lovers in your poem come a long way from the first stanza. From bitter fights to selfless unity.

Our lovers are most often our deepest friends and confidants, guardians against the injuries of the world. Your lines "a sun-filled destiny/meant for two lovers/to share" are a great way to describe that union. We are so much more when we overcome the differences in our relationships.

Can't make up unless we fall out, without the seasons life would be a dull day, we err we are human.

The stress of a strained relationship can be so hard to deal with. You love, you yearn, always at odds with one another. You've captured a very intimate look inside your heart. Thank you for sharing...

[Fran Marie]

Thanks so much

It's never pleasant but fighting is healthy in a relationship I think.
Nothing abusive obviously but airing disagreements...
Enjoyed the read Fran Marie!

I really enjoyed this piece. I also loved the picture which really drew my into the mood of the poem.
Its like you taken what i'm feeling and jotted onto paper. Arguments can be caused by the silliest of thing especially when strong emotions, such as love , are involved. And sometimes we feel like we're fighting, but not fighting for us.

thanks so very much, Kristan, I so appreciate it

This is so true. Sometimes a person loves so deep and wonders why it is so hard to just "get along"

[Fran Marie]

Thanks K.L. so much Appriciated

Why do two people who love one another argue? The question will never be sufficiently answered, will it? Any relationship involves a good bit of compromise...and some are not willing to give at all. While it is foolish, it is part of life....and those who truly love can get past disagreements. So very emotive. Lovely. Lydi**
