If anyone believes that marriage means
forever drinking champagne by sunset
then think again
It's many things
It can be licking the sugar
off the tip of your spouse’s nose
red roses every friday at five pm
but it can also be stinking ugly and cold
it can be hurricane winds of misunderstanding
one-hundred miles an hour winds
scraping up the tiles on your once happy roof
lashing them on ground broken and un-fixable
ice cold freezing temperatures
that can freeze in just seconds
the twenty-foot oak tree
once planted by you both
in the marital garden
in the middle of a special and very colorful spring
the sunset, if sets in all its glory
could also fall to the dawn of the new age
of tumbling tears from heaven
or flakes of snow covered in ketchup blood red
and a frostbitten toe.

It is in the variety and the extremity of such differences that the depth of love is measured. Someone once told me that a person can not love deeper than one hates. It makes sense that there must be balance. A wonderful write that many of us can identify with.
Thank you dearest sorrenbarret, indeed we are only human. 🌹
Excellent write, Teddy, After 61 years I can attest to this poem.
lol I'm glad I'm not alone 🤣 thank you dear Jerry. 🌹
Well, the muse has spoken to you and hit home for me my friend! This must get a fave because it is the stark, cold truth and so well written, as you so consistently do. Well done, Teddy! 🌹👏
Thank you so much dear Tristan, for these beautiful words and for always coming by to read. 🌹
You're welcome, Teddy. I truly am a fan and enjoy your work.
But love is always there in its glory and wonder Teddy as I am sure it is with you, it certainly is with me.

When it's there it's magic when it's not it's hell. ❤️
