Mark R Slaughter (1957)
Divorce
The two, paired, double-dared when
Love pounced; interfered
With once platonic tones.
They took it on - married,
Carried out the disingenuous play
Of white – in church!
And so to bed…
Climactic screams and moans
Regressed from real to fake
(and closely after!)
Upon the time disaster fell
Upon their made-up fairytale;
Upon them now a heavy hell
To take them through divorce –
Why neither showed remorse,
We'll never know!
Only bitter spite;
An eagerness to fight;
Why neither was contrite
Was such a blow!
For hand on heart, they were
The caring kinds –
Perhaps a clash of minds
Had ruined the show?
Well actually no –
He'd dipped his toe
In places where he shouldn't go:
Exercising his…er
Well, his lady-chasing
Swinging parts below!

Happy to sad. Poems on Divorce are always sad when what is happy to begin with ends in parting.
