The Road Map to Love She cuddled her infant with soft warm loving hands and could not get over that he was heaven sent Her husband reached over to hold their son with pride Eyes full of his wonder at this child at his side The baby soon suckled next to his mother's breast and she fed him sweetly her eyes softly caressed It was later that night She slipped off her covers and wobbled to the bath and froze at the harsh light The mirror was set under the harshly glaring globe - red stretch marks were showing scarlet her scarred skin showed She struggled against tears with eyes stinging with shame her husband came to see what the fuss was about Why was his beautiful wife looking sad tonight? She pointed to her scars her eyes full of disgust His fingers ran over each dark crimsomed scar he then whispered so sweetly in her ear," "This is the road map to our love." Years of their devotion brought them children - five one day he looked in the mirror and he was shocked he pointed to his aged lines She held him and traced his lines with her finger and whispered softly in his ear, "This is the road map of our love." They clung to each other under harsh light above thinking of each other and road maps of their love ~netswan Teresa King www.tipsfortop.com |

"This is the road map to our love." Lovely netswan  Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive, my body goes on, my spirit has died and I though alive, feel dead inside. "Rose Petal" |

netswan, So happy to see you have submitted this one my friend. One of my favorites. You get my vote!!LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
