Love and marriage

I am a married man
but still I play if I can.
And what do I have to lose anyway,
her Love, her trust, her respect,
I'll lose my wife you say!
That would be O.K.
cause I don't Love her anyway.

How else could I possibly present myself here
and pronounce my infidelity,
with no remorse or sensitivity.

Call me a player if you must
a dark and sinister victim of my own lust.
This doesn't have to only be a husband you see
it could be either spouse just as easily.
Or it could be two lovers linked romantically.

There's a lesson here that's perfectly clear.
Love isn't dependent upon our lust
but I think Love could use a little trust.

Most when faced with the choice of Love or lust
surely would choose to Love and trust.

I choose Love to embrace and care.
I choose Love to kiss and share.
I choose the Love you can see in a mothers embrace.
Love is the greatest romance we will ever face.

Love can soften the hardest heart.
I know cause I played that part.
This Love that ask us for everything
and gives us back our hopes and dreams.

James that is beautiful thankyou. I understand from your email it wasn't about me but for me. I would've thought that anyway. This is lovely and a journey into the man that you have become. Thanks. (HUGS)

Interesting piece james. Makes a man think about being a player. I am ashamed to say I once was but us men learn. I liked this

Thank you Bojopy for reading and commenting about this. I guess one of the points I wanted to make is I don't believe we would play or stray unless the love was missing...and of course everything that goes with it...the caring, the romance, a soft heart. It only requires a brief moment in time to betray your wife or your lover but the pain they will feel after the betrayal is revealed can last for a lifetime. James

hearts connect along the line as the loose on the ball of twine forever entangled in this way to each other and to each new day

Simply put LOVE CONQUERS ALL a little oldfasioned but but you know it is so true

My grandparents are about to celebrate there 60th wedding anniversary that is love eternal unrelenting

Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd
