Is love a dark and tendered heart
A paradoxical support
That holds the plain and splintered world
In lieu of elder, timeless court

If love is filled in tankard’s breadth
And stirred with cups of measured pain
To add an ounce or maybe two
Would make it sweeter, slow to drain

Is love a thing to banter ‘bout
As if it’s folly, man should seek
To craft a world that’s steady thus
A marriage formed of bold to meek

I especially liked the second verse in this! You pose some interesting questions that have no easy answers. Very nice work Walt, oh I know they all say that!!

Very well done!
Especially liked
...a marriage formed of bold to meek.
A homecoming to sanity. Very nice. ThisDiamond
