What allows two people to truly believe
That they belong only to each other
For forever,
And for always?
I mean, I believe that I've found it,
That love that is written and cried over
And sanctified for centuries,
Only to find all the people that I care about
Losing theirs after decades of married life.
Is it simply about learning how to coexist with
Someone who at times can be so different,
And so far removed from what you are,
Or is it more of an all consuming passion
That defines life and love and happiness
And is poetic until the end?
What is it that keeps these people together,
And what is it that rips them apart?
And how do you know when you make this
Blind leap of faith
That you alone were right
When so many others that you have idolized
Were wrong?
And if you are wrong,
How do you pick up the pieces and go on?
And were we ever really meant to?
Who knows the eternal answers
To the questions about love?
There are no goddesses of love here,
There is no certainity in Cupid's arrow...
We simply leap off a cliff
And pray that we land safely
And not on the rocks below.
Is that all it is?
Is that all that we can do?
Let fate take its course?
Will we ever really know?

After 15 years of marriage and getting married at 19 . I'm still married. Problem in marriage is people forget the little things that brought them togther. Then they start looking for greener grass or conplaining one does not notice the other.
When everyone is out trading new relationships new cars and the intire world of internet love I believe some things you hold on to because if you keep looking for new what is gonna happen when the fire dies out in the new relationship ?
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. By your picture you look so young 16 at the most and from your comments under mine on another poem I can see you have no children and little concern for the online safety of children. If you think that monitering the content of poetry is just the parents job I disagree it is Mick Job the posters job and anyone job. In a nice way I told him as a mother it was not content I want my child viewing you told him it was ok to have that content here.
So it is now with regret I leave this site
Thanks to you Have a nice day |

Your poem comes at just the right moment for me to answer your question. We celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary next month and I think I know how we have got there. I've been trying to think of a way to write a poem about it but keep getting lost in the thousand and one facets of it all.
I think I can write a poem which answers your questions from our experience. (I'll print yours out for reference and have a go.)
I'll call it "Will we ever really know?" and explain it refers to your poem.
