Married Man

Married man, why do you entice me so

you promise me beyond the moon and stars

when we both know they're not yours to give

sweep me off my feet, dance me, romance me

pale azure moonlight is so thrilling and inviting

my mind plays a melody, an old tune of betrayal

have lived forsaken, been on the other side of midnight

I say without hesitation, 'sorry, my dance card is replete'

yet, I can't help myself but marvel at what 'could have been.'

sometimes, our feelings to someone are stronger than our control. let me say, love is sweet but at the same time it learns us how to be selfish. we get selfish when we love someone wanting them to be only for us. we love them to feel selfish twards us as well. this is the fact we try to ignore about love but it is real..
very nicely penned..

Yes, that makes perfect sense unless you're looking through the eyes of a scorned woman, then sense flies out the door.

If this is personal No need to commit to a married man...Chances are if he's done it to her, he would probably do the same to you. Besides who wants to break up a marriage any way. Let them decide on their own without interference.

[Jess]

well,that's life,,,,anyways,don't want to commit to a married man.LOL;)thanks for sharing Madam F

[Frieda P]

Hard to do when they're already committed, yep. Thanks hon!

Ah, the temptation may be there, but the consequences are usually that which causes more harm than good! This ole' gal has been around long enough to know it is not a good thing to give in to.......both sides are guilty if it happens. I feel so much compassion for the innocent person, either wife or husband when it does occur!
It is a good topic to write of so that we may think about it - before, of if it does happen! It is better to have a 'could have been' than a 'I am sorry it happened'!

[Frieda P]

You're not only a lovely woman Sheila you are plenty wise too. Thanks! Sucks being on the losing end, yes.

[Deron Alexis]

lol married men need to learn how to behave don't act single you're gonna destroy some poor girl's heart really not cool great poem Freida infatuation empty promises this one had it all in little words keep it up

[Frieda P]

Yep happened, I guess that's why I'd think twice before throwing my whims to the wind. The receiving end is not a fun place to be....thanks!

I had a UPS guy come to the house today...baby he was gorgeous...and so sweet...doing that thing men do when women come to the door in a t-shirt without a bra on *laugh* He was wearing the prettiest wedding band I ever saw. *sigh* You know, my Brit was married when I met him ;-) I'm just saying...

[Frieda P]

Oopsie someone was a bad, bad girl, but in your case I'm sure it was oh so good! ;-)

[KAOlmsted]

In hindsight, I should have left him with his wife *LAUGH* No no no...

Ha! Yeah...

[Lover Of Words]

This is amazing

Althought Mrs Frieda are you flirting with a married Man??? ;-)

[Frieda P]

Moi? Do I look like the flirty type, it's all imagination. ;-)

[Lover Of Words]

Hahaha well you have a great imagination! Surely got me wondering! ;-)

[Keith]

I will never understand why a man or woman would go about "enticing" someone else while married to another. Oh, wait, I guess I am guilty of that too. It comes down to our selfish desire to feel that flush of pleasure that is part of those first few moments of creating a new relationship.

You did very well in capturing the hurt that is brought about by this selfishness.
Thank you for sharing it.

[Frieda P]

That's what I like, pure unadulterated honesty! Thanks so much, glad you like it Wes

[Keith]

You're welcome :)

[Sirius King]

hmmm very nice way of capturing this...

forbidden fruit is usually the sweetest- and most deadly

[Frieda P]

Tis, there lies the problem! ;-)

[Sirius King]

yupp :-)

[Frieda P]

ha yep ;-)

[LA Lorena]

Looks like this sparked some debate and discussion! That's a good thing, and so was this poem. Too bad I missed out on all the fun.

[Frieda P]

You missed a lot, someone beat me up over my Senyru too, was an eventful weekend!

[Carolann Dowsett]

Those married men should keep it in their pants and put it away for their wives. :P Another awesome write :)

[Frieda P]

ha that made me laugh! thanks Carolann!

[Carolann Dowsett]

Haha anytime :)
