We Do But....

 

Down on bended knee

Face expressive with love

unique ring symbolic of love, nestled in a

velvet box

Fluent words spoken in

romantic tones

 

He gazes into starlight eyes, ears wait to hear

Yes I will marry you

Sense of relief is evident

At the moment they do, but.....

 

Preparations need to be made

Formal wear fitted

Invitations made

Wedding cake ordered

Church reserved

Blood test and marriage license to get

At the moment they still do, but.....

 

Church decorated with flowers and bells

Unity candle is lit

Bride and groom pledge their undying love

Contentment settles in

At the moment they do, but.....

 

Fantasy honeymoon is taken

Two lovers soak in the alabaster moon

Bodies integrate perfectly

Serenity soothes their soul

At the moment they still do, but....

 

First aniversary spent on silk sheets and romance

Second anniversary love still shines

Third anniversary slips them by

Fourth anniversary spent in separate rooms

Fifth anniversary fight esculates

At the beginning they did, but now.....

Divorce is imminent

[Coyote Poetry]

A poem with a sad ending. Sometime two people are on the wrong road and find out in time. Love is hard to maintain and keep strong. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Sad but too often the truth.
