Poetic Asides
Marriage
A wreckless decision
Can be complex
Even disastrous
A stalking shadow
Trailing close til days end
A life sentence
Til death us do part
A mill stone
A crown of thorns
A promethean curse
Everyone needs
endurance and grace
A boozy Grace Poole
to survive it
Where is saintly Jane ?
Plain devoted Jane of
Staunch love and heart
To keep the ship afloat
Only in the romantic mind
Of a Vicar's lovelorn daughter
Crying into her mittens
On a freezing night
Howling gale from the moors
filling her ears
Sigh..Jane
Jane is in the books
Warm and rose'd glow
Her arms will not hold you
Her lips will not wipe away your tears
Mad Bertha
Commander of the cheque account
May have to stay after all
At least the family castle
and almost all of the limbs
Will stay in tact
Me thinks .... there are times my sweet when you have a cynical take on life and love.
ReplyDeleteDepends on my mood, moon,tide and the moment schweetness:)
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs endurance and grace to survive it--that's the truth! Some great lines here; I especially like "Crying into her mittens / On a freezing night"
ReplyDeleteAha..a realist at last!:)
DeletePoor Bertha, paying for so many other people's mistakes.
