Don't expose the pain.
Broken dreams take flight
In search of new domain.
Through settling smoke
Shadows loom,
Dancing, gloating
Mocking our doom.
Passionate golden rings
Snuffed by scarred frightened fingers
Promised a lifetime of desire
To two wanton strangers.

Very strong and very sad. It does seem as if the golden rings are
mocking, what a marriage has become.
I feel this pain let me say that - too many times but i always slowly rebounded..et vous??
It is sad, but beautifully written.
So true! This was really great. I love the way you match the music so well.
Very good!
This is such a powerful line "Snuffed by scarred frightened fingers" enjoyed this very much.
I will get over to your other page soon. It sounds like fun! Things are a bit hectic right now. And not able to be on line as much.
A tale wonderfully told between the lines.
I was reminded of Joan Baez' lines - "Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other from a lifetime of cares."
Unfortunately this sounds like the mantra for to many of todays marriages. Very powerful Petra!

Great poem but as others have stated. Sad, and a touch depressing. But I suppose those are true enough emotions for some who have experienced a bitter divorce.
