Mistake
Why ever did I say "I Do"
And make a vow before the Lord,
To love, honor and obey him
Til death do us part?
I even told him that I loved him
As I made this solemn vow.
I smiled at him so sweetly
And kissed him softly on the lips.
While unbeknownst to me .......
There lived a MONSTER in his pants!
This hideous creature
He called his manhood
Soon began to haunt my life.
It tried to take control of me,
There seemed to be no escape!
It followed me everywhere
And was always hanging around.
Even when I closed my eyes
I saw it staring oddly back at me.
Lord, please forgive me,
But I truly think,
The vow I made before you
Was all a big mistake!!
Fire is a friend and a "Monster".
A little fire can warm and inspire passion
A fire out of control will raze a town.
Which of us can deny that it is a "monster"
that beyond control is self willed
and self destrutive, always the presumptious
eye pushing ahead leading a body
this way and that, even against intellegence
and logic.
Yes all empathy to the persona in
this poem. But to be pity most are those
of us who carries the burden of this torch
that blazes beyond reason, because you can
chose to leave the monster by seperation or
by divorce, but those of us attached to the beast,
there is no hope of it ever being removed.
Hey, I agree with the other comments, about your courage in writing this truth. I believe mistakes are largely recognized after their creation and also believe God pardons them. I wrestled w/this fact for years and am finally at peace over it. J.
Tricia Yes, sometimes we just don't know - but still be try. Sometimes it is time to just let go of the 'monsters' in our life. A sad poem. Regards Donkerman
Tricia, Kindred souls indeed tho for different reasons. I wondered about this same vow, always having taken it very seriously. Then I stepped back and with that my faith faltered as well. I know that two wrongs can't make a right, but still I wonder. This is an unbelievably personal thing to be writing about and it takes the kind of guts that I don't have, tho I know that very few people know me personally at PP. Naked soul on paper this.
