enduring enigma

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.


I  wrote this poem (unknowingly) the same afternoon my son asked his sweetheart to marry him, so I joyfully dedicate it to Lorn & Jessica!

 

for bitter or worse

A_small_cup_of_coffeeHe 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.
