it’s good to create
energy in a marriage
a bit of spark adds
excitement to any
couple’s relationship
but negative energy
will backfire on itself;
wound like [bam]
agitated boomerang
or spring [zing]
like wristwatch too
tightly wound, no
longer
synchronized
in time
together.
Lillian challenges us to write a quadrille (44 words) using both pronunciations/meanings of “wound”. Join us at dVerse poets pub 🙂

Meoto Iwa, or the “Loved one and loved one” Rocks, are a couple of small rocky stacks in the sea off Futami, Mie, Japan. They are joined by a shimenawa (a heavy rope of rice straw) and celebrate the union in marriage of man and woman. At low tide, the rocks are not separated by water.
Chèvrefeuille, at CDHK, offers two haiku for weekend “fusion & troiku” challenge:
between the wedded rocks
the sun rises to her highest throne
summer solstice
mountain stream
the ice has melted – dances in the sun
crystal waterdrops © Chèvrefeuille
My “fusion” of Chèvre’s haiku into one which lays foundation for troiku series:
rock solid marriage
mountain streams refresh the sea
sun rises, moon sets

rock solid marriage
united by rope of straw
weighty promises
mountain streams refresh
sea waves break upon the rocks
crystal droplets shine
sunset and moonrise
benediction over earth
until end of time

It is said that good communication is necessary to build any successful relationship. Communication and commitment certainly form the vital framework for a healthy marriage. But effective communication goes beyond speaking and listening. It is possible to say too much; to spew destructive words that tear a home down. It may be possible to hear too much; to assume the worst intentions of one’s partner. Is this not why the “two will become one flesh”? Sex is the super-glue that bonds partners, holds a marriage together. This sacred act is designed to reconcile and unite spouses in expressing tender love, forgiveness, acceptance when words fail. If fruitful, a couple may also be rewarded by the pleasure of children!
speak intimately
don’t let words get in the way
love’s body language

two beings, alike yet
opposite, attracted
like magnets (even
at times, repulsed)
will dare commit to
co-join in covenant
for a lifetime…how?
puzzling pieces fit,
monogamy wasn’t
meant as monotony.
God’s created design
established in Eden
cannot be denied,
ignored or forgotten.
patterned after Him,
the self-sacrifice is
worth it, revealing
true love is faithful,
life can be renewed,
and His eternal love-
stronger than death.

in Uncategorized Tags: coffee, marriage
He and she
received a shiny black coffee maker
as a formal wedding gift
so…
she, for he,
brewed a steamy pot every morning
as a dutiful wife
and…
he, for she,
drank his morning cuppa joe
as a faithful husband
until…
she, then he,
admitted (after the first anniversary)
that neither really cared for black coffee
hence…
he and she
hid the coffee maker in a back cupboard
and poured orange juice for breakfast.
