Audio Series #2 - Marriage (by @freeinthought)

Welcome to the second installment of my personally narrated, intimately curated poetry from the heart. I'm doing my best to produce and present my audio readings in a pleasant video format. I'm learning things every day and hopefully getting better at it.

Marriage - The Roller Coaster Of Life

Marriage is a funny thing
It is a road collectively so often traveled
Yet it's course and destination are never quite charted
It is wrapped in adventure until thoust departed

Like a roller coaster
Achievements and milestones build steadily
Then aggravation and disappointment set in
Dropping the floor from beneath your feet hastily

Suddenly turned upside down
Twisted round like a corkscrew
Veering off course jarring to and fro
Then coming to rest at a depressing low

Why do we do it?
What is the point?
Certainly love is not the rarest of comforts
Numerous are the lonely waiting for marriage to anoint

Surely finances are not the incentive
As once a couple unites
Children will then soon follow
Leaving your purse empty and hollow

As the ride slows and nears its end
My confidence in my marriage grows strong
As I look to my partner in life next to me
A time for reflection that doesn't take long

The answer becomes quite clear
And I admit to myself
That dying alone and being forgotten
Is my biggest fear

Free In Thought
