Misspent youth with passions ebbing lives lived in a cold, hostile dread lies shrouded in sacred vows given truth left hidden in words unsaid. A cold passion in battles waged while children became the prize enduring pawns to warrior parents not knowing which one to despise. Years of agony and the battle raged no victory for either side peace will reign in the house of war only when the combatants have died. When did the line ‘tween love and hate get so battered and so muddied Who gave the signal to the battle join who was first, beaten and bloodied. Tormented love, triumphant hate joined in wedlock profane finding battles won or lost in wretched delight, victorious pain. [This message has been edited by Poet deVine (edited 07-30-2000).] |

It's so sad Poet deVine that these situations exist, what a terrible way to begin life with an example set for children like that. I think you put your point across extremely well in this piece..... This fine verse where you are using these kinds of oxymoron statements really show the futility of the situation but also display your skills as a writer "Tormented love, triumphant hate joined in wedlock profane fighting battles won or lost in wretched delight. victorious pain." Take care...........ethome........ |

Can't say that I remember this one. But you've drawn the picture well! It's sad when it comes down to this. Especially for the children. You've done a great writing here Sharon! |

Years of agony and the battle raged no victory for either side peace will reign in the house of war only when the combatants have died. ... ... Tormented love, triumphant hate joined in wedlock profane finding battles won or lost in wretched delight, victorious pain. ------ WOW Poet deVine, what expression.... Excellently written... painful it is though... but to this reader, the pleasure of seeing perfection is joyous... how ironic! regards, sudhir |

This poem has special meaning for me. It was a challenge poem on another site and was the first time I had a chance to challenge Ron! The phrase - tormented love, triumphant hate - had to be used in a poem. It was amazing the different poems that were written! Thanks for your kind words.

Very deep poem! The feeling and response it arouses for me is a sense of deja vu, having grown up in this house! I can say without reservation that you have captured the grim battle in a marriage without love. You have my vote! Life is not a spectator Sport! Dance like no one's watching. Love like it's never going to hurt. |

I can't think of a worse scenario than a child being brought up to know only bickering and very little true love and affection but it happens all the time and yet if adults only realised that what they seek they refuse their children...makes no sense to me.. Challenge or not, the words are well worth hearing..  HUSG "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." |

how often do we hear the phrase 'just like his dad' or 'so much like her mom' It's not always an influence ... but it hits awfully close to home at times Rex |

You have captured one of the great tragedies of modern warfare. I am so thankful that I was at least able to avoid this. If more parents would think first of their children they would see life in a different light. Outstanding writing PDV.
