Intentions.
When destiny's route
is scribed on lives unprepared to carry its weight
every miniscule
setback will breed resentment for unwelcome fate.
If humans accrue
signs of erroneous motive weak choices are made
for furrowed brows bruise
lovers' attempts to find beauty when bias dictates.
Mistrust as reviewed
in judgemental suspicion may relationships strain.
yet love abhors rules
which tritely reject best intentions of trying again.

A fine write Fay. Ohh, I know: 'If at first you don't succeed - give up!' What's come over me? heehee.
I saw this on one of those 'Keep calm and.....' stalls. I thought 'Ahh, that's one option I suppose!'
Thank you for this considered comment Orchi - -yes keep trying for better things in a relationship - -that is the best way.
Fine write Fay. Marriage is something that one should not enter into lighty. For some it is not taken as a vow. Only as something that will last if everything goes smoothly. We all know nothing worth keeping is easy.
You sum up a familiar attitude to marriage these days dear friend - long-term relationships set many challenges but worth it to see that trying brings benefits to both genders. Glad the read about intentions to make success of close friendships brought out these fine observations and thank you.
Your very welcome dear Fay!
Love, that wonderful mystery prize for you know not where it will take you nor where it is to be found.
It will take you, shake you and sadly often break you but will never ever slake you when it comes to wanting more.
"yet love abhors rules
which tritely reject best intentions of trying again" oh so cleverly put together.
My thanks dear friend for your visit and input - -- yes love often needs a flexible attitude to thrive and succeed.
HI FAY (Agony Aunt ?) Thanks for a very important Poem directed to those whose Marriages are subject to fluctuations due to unpreparedness ~ weak choices ~ bias & mistrust ! It also contains a warning ~ LOVE ABHORS RULES ~ to those (like Angela & I) contemplating marriage (2020 ?). I'm a Scientist so I tend to be a little "analytical" in Life & Love which is why I am still single @ 35. V 1. I see so many "Young Marriages" ending in Divorce. V 2. So many "Incompatible Marriages" struggling on. V 3. There is a "better way" letting "True Love" flow and throwing away the RULE BOOK ! Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours as always ~ BRIAN. I have spoken to ANGELA in NZ (its 8:30 am Tuesday) ~ her first Clinic is 1pm. She likes your poem and will comment separately ! Thanks B !
Your comments are always so carefully worded and often so positive Brian -- thank you for noting the better way of allowing love to induce trying again when things become tough. These days too many are choosing separation rather than working on a stronger relationship. Wishing you and Angela the blessings of determined intention to retain your close togetherness.
GOOD EVENING AUNT FAY! Loved your Poem and advice about success in marriage. Loved the Poem and the responses and I have taken note of what Brian said and your response. I liked your Mantra and applied it to my profession. "Physiotherapy never fails - People fail on Physiotherapy" . Well would you do some of the things we tell our Clients to do 20 times a day! Brian makes Science an excuse for being so analytical. The first time we met I could see him making mental notes, if he had of gotten his FILOFAX out, that would have been it. We are too much in Love for it to ever end and the 11,500 miles between us seems insignificant! Back to the Poem and its message. My attitude to Love & Life is also influenced by my profession. As a Physio I work with a client and with my "Black Art" and the clients cooperation I seek out what & where the problems lie, it is very SUBJECTIVE. I then, with the client, work out a "Plan of Action" (no rules) to overcome the problems and restore holisitc equilibrium (homeostasis). Physiotherapy is Holistic and Subjective, it "abhors rules". This is also my approach to Love & Life. Brian's is OBJECTIVE! Because of this we perfectly complement each other in a Mystical & Spiritual Way, so we have a perfect union. Your poem has opened "Loves Box" Love it - Love You too, ANGELA XXXX
