I’ve walked those places Where the bones of earth Erupt from her skin And in jagged break Leave sharp edged Cuts on the landscape As I thought of how The wrinkles in our bed sheets Were just as stress split. Those landscapes took eons To form, Ours took only a few years Yet both resist Erosion and time Enduring |

Ron The landscape of the bed sometimes can be as wide and hard to cross as a desert. A great comparison/metaphor. Enjoyed as always! |

Hmm...volcanic rock can be hard - it cuts like a knife. I too enjoyed this.  |

Ron, I don't care how rocky the terrain, I believe in true love, and I believe it works, as it seems is the testament in this poem. Enduring, in spite of.... I think that kind of love is predestined for some, and I think some will never know that special part of life. And, who knows why? Enjoyed this, for it seems to have captured the way a growing relationship feels. It is nice to consider that some do endure. I still occasionally come across people who've been married 50, 60+ years; Amazing! I liked the poetic descriptions. Warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Capt. ~ I was drawn in by your title and fascinated once I'd read this several times. Very interesting comparison. I love the last word. My hubby and I have been married for 34 years; some days it's cutting and hard and other's it's as soft and snuggly as a newborn kitten. Enduring!! Hugs, Marti A poem is never finished, only abandoned. |

The molten boundaries of colliding plates are surely fault-laden and highly susceptible to ex/implosion... Much as time spent within the subduction of crumpling sheets is subject to the di/convergent flow of our lives... This is a grand metaphor, Cap'n...  |
