I call it the “snare of the fowler”- A dead fall whatever it’s called. Baited by our own temptations- Unwary, we’re easy enthralled. Call it a madness, or magic- We’re each victims to our desire. Results all too often are tragic- We’re drawn like a fool to the fire. The equation is painfully simple- Requiring one woman, one man... The look in the eyes is the trigger, Give’s lie to the ring on the hand. Each woman at heart is a wanton- Each man in his heart is a knave... The fire in their heart burning hotly, Illicit the pleasures they crave. And yet we are bound by our customs Till death do we part, by a band- Forget what you see in the eyes, friend- But take a close look at the hand.

Love it, it's great! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Truth be told, and the inner will is to ignore the gunslinger on the hill... [Can't be done...good work, Sir!] Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

wonderful! "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." -Charles Brugnot |

Very true GS...but I've also found that simple band can be chains and shackles...that commitment to marriage, that honor...the fact that I was taught that when one gets married, it should be forever kept me in an abusive relationship for 17 years...there is lots to be said for that band of gold, yes, but sometimes it should be released for good reasons. Band of Gold What powers did that band posess That simple band of gold To make me want to stay with you In a love that had grown cold To make me want to risk my life To give you health and more What was it about the ring that kept me From walking out the door Or did the ring mean something else To keep me staying here Or was it not the ring at all But simply just my fear I should have realized sooner That a ring does not love make That marriage should be compromise Not one give all, the other take And so I give you back your ring As I walk out the door For you see, It's just a band of gold Just that and nothing more At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet. ~Plato |

Greatly enjoyed the read. I also agree that a wedding ring is simply a symbol of one's utter devotion - should that devotion falter, then the symbol is no more. Sonny |
