They are no longer
He The Prince
She The Pauper
He feed the children with money
No rules
She un allowed to guide
Just
The Prince
Who happy
The Pauper earned each day
So, He The Prince
Could Sail with the wind
Swim in the sunshine
Sleep with a balanced glass
She was The Perfect
Never wanted
Nor asked
Just got on with the living
The Prince shone
Never heard No
No care in the world
He for years, spent the money
So liked to impress with his gold
He never stopped to think, Why?
Why she lost her way
For he, happy, drinking, laughing
For he, worked a short day
He ruled.
Yet rule no longer
All is ruined.
The drunken gold - Wasted.
Life now turned
So much lost
Never to be found
Broken
The need to know
Life has boundaries
Rules
Even if broken.
The importance of
Guidance,
Respect,
Help. In the steps taken
To assist in
Survival
When Broken

You both have to be working on the same page and appreciate what each of does. Very thoughtful poem.
Two people can share the same space in life yet their lives can be so different...nively done Annette
I love this excellent write about a man who lived his life like a prince, his wife did all the work and obeyed his rules while the prince enjoyed himself but he wasted all his money and he and his wife end up broken in different ways! Deep and powerful write!
