Sometimes When You're Married

Marriage Poems

Sometimes when you're married

You drift away within.

Outside you stroll together;

Inside you live in sin.

A rich imagination

Provides your ecstasy,

A cordless, mobile heaven

Where everything is free.



The garden that you tend

Is not the one you roam;

The part of you that sings

Is not the one at home.



A strange and burning life:

What's real is not what's true.

And no one knows the passion

That you believe is you.



And so you are distracted,

Two people in a jar,

Bound by love and fate,

Yet never what you are



Until by chance life rips

A hole right through your wall,

And nothing you've imagined

Hi Connie,

I am really feeling this poem. I've been in exactly the same frame of mind on many occassions, it's like - "been there, done that".
Peace. T
