Swans Dive with Care

Swans Dive with Care


Expecting paradise,

she was but a child bride.

Cinderella dreams of her perfect Prince.

Alas, only a human man exists.



Their marital link proved a smooth ride

till' life’s course stalled in a valley unable to peak.

A sheltered Juliet didn’t appreciate,

bitter oft accompanies sweet.



Their split was raw, full of tearful rage
puzzle edges that can’t connect.

Much easier to run than give breath to love.

Years passed. Again they meet.



Her face, now a portrait in his eyes,

once a girl, now a radiant woman,

flushed with unquenched passion,

craving sensual satisfaction.



Their tears mix on his hot cheek.

Is this devotion or careless time?
Empty hours spend in anticipation,

holding her breath for his nearness?



Years alter memories,

bitter wine may pass as champagne.

Desperation recalled as a rough patch,

unforgivable deeds: only minor complaints.



Speak my heart, the strength of this love
is pure with heavenly heartstrings and binding ties.

Cowards tip toe in the shallow pool.

A platinum trophy awaits the graceful swan dive.
