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..

[Frieda P]

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

[Annabelle Lee]

Such a good person for refusing him, though. haha.

[Frieda P]

Can still turn a girl's head, who doesn't want the moon? ;-)

[Annabelle Lee]

Well, the moon would be sweet. But the sun seems like a much better conversationalist.

[Frieda P]

How old are you? You're too smart for your age! :-)

[Annabelle Lee]

14. haha thank you!

[Frieda P]

No way.........................

[Annabelle Lee]

What?

[Frieda P]

You're not 14

[Annabelle Lee]

yes. I am. Tender age of ten and four not evn old enough to drive (legally) haa

[quinfinn]

i have a moon for you, Frieda!

[Frieda P]

don't you ever sleep?!

[quinfinn]

funny...i was gonna ask you the same question

[Frieda P]

I got my quota in, slept 2 hours wooo

[quinfinn]

i suffer from insomnia and depression.....tired but not sleepy, it is a b***h.

[Frieda P]

I'm surprised you're not a cranky grouch.

[quinfinn]

oh, i have my moments, but for the most part i am all pussycat....it takes a lot to piss me off

[Frieda P]

yep, same here, but then steer clear.

[Clockwork]

Now, if this piece is speaking about a married man promising to be with a single woman, I have seen that before. My mother has been dating a married man for about the last five years. He said she brings him to life, and he only wants to be with her, but the time is not right.

Maybe its wanting what is already taken. Maybe it is the fact that he is a bread winner or that he can be a protector. Mostly, I think its because they are forbidden.

I hope I haven't interpreted your piece wrongly.

[Frieda P]

5 years?! The time will never be right..your poor mother falls for that. A married man is a married man, if he has his sights set on a single woman or married woman. If you're not happy in your marriage then it should be finalized before you move on, there's nothing worse than betrayal from someone you think you're going to spend the rest of your life with. Be a man, own up and take the responsibility, he's havin, 'his cake and getting to eat it too.

[Clockwork]

Yes, you are very right about that.

[Ambereen]

But marvel at what 'could have been...... that sentence hit the bulls eye .... well penned !

[Frieda P]

thanks Abereen, yep it did.

[MOON]

Ha, ha loved the comments below , my sentiments exactly!

[Frieda P]

I have to agree, she said a mouthful! Thanks...

[AYVID]

Forgive me for letting loose just once!
Married worms playing around?
Emotionally Unavailable Assclowns!!!!!

You get full marks for bringing it up!

[Frieda P]

Geez Divya we should have collaborated on this one...I could have used 'emotionally unavailable Assclowns!

[David Scott]

Ah. Ever the mirror of what would be captured if a picture could be taken of the soul.
So good!

[Frieda P]

Thanks, picture of a soul, how scary a thought is that!

[David Scott]

Ah... Also beauty. But always truth!

[Frieda P]

Many times truth is much more frightening than fiction! No one could make this s**t up!

[Night]

..." my mind plays a melody, an old tune of betrayal "..." on the other side of midnight " my favorite lines...nice write Frieda...:)

[Frieda P]

Thanks, true story ;-)

[quinfinn]

at least they know how to show a girl a good time and how to shag...."yeh, baby" i'm not sure what to feel about this piece, because i have a very, very low opinion of married people who cheat on their partners. good solid write, though.

[Frieda P]

Thanks quin, I had a feeling you would feel that way, you just moved up another notch in my book. My hero. :-)

[quinfinn]

i loathe cheaters....it is the worst form of betrayal

[Frieda P]

They're not only cheaters, they're liars, cruel and gutless too...

[quinfinn]

yep! one must lie in order to cheat and no guts when confronted with their betrayal....it is cruel

[Frieda P]

I would much rather have someone tell me they were no longer in love with me, then have to go through that, it might been painful bu the alternative is much worse, it really f***s with your self esteem when someone cheats on you.

[quinfinn]

how well i know, my love, how well i know

Is everyone speaking in code today?

[Ahmad Cox]

Wow so amazingly poetic beautiful yet laced with a strong message and truth as well.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Ahmad, I've been burning to write this one for quite some time now.

[Ahmad Cox]

Sometimes the only way to process it is to write it out.

[Frieda P]

That's what we do. :-)
