The Same Heart

Do you love the man or woman of your choice;
or is it merely a matter of convenience;
does your partner’s whisper have love in their voice;
or is love a matter of expedience?

How deep is the love; that both of you share;
do you ever feel deception or distrust;
when you’re talking; do you feel they care;
or, just listening; because they must?

Do both of you, often talk and listen together;
do you share what each of you feel;
would you love to stay in their arms, forever;
do their whispers have any appeal.

Marriage has become a vacuous celebration;
questions, asked; answered; and done;
then you both go on a private vacation;
hoping that two, grow into one.

All marriages were meant to last forever;
tho a great many; weren’t meant to be;
some become a marriage; till whenever;
often one lover, wants to be free.

Two ships in the night, have come together;
eventually to become lost in a storm;
a divorce erases their marriage, forever;
with no one to keep either warm.

Sometimes the Master joins two together;
when no one can tear them apart;
each wants their kiss to last forever;
as both share the same heart.
