They found themselves in the best love dose
They quickly and eagerly embraced each other in warmth
They drank each others blessed waters
But kept off the discourse of my children; your children
And their previous knots
Now, our children have come in the mix
Her baby daddy is claiming his conjugal share
For he planted a seed in her
She has to give in because he was her first love
First love ghosts always hoover around marriages
They have to deal with this dilemma that was swept under the carpet
Can we make a schedule to serve us and our children?
My children, your children, our children
Have become a monster in our marriage darling
The joy we had as we courted is dead
You promised that your baby daddy would never come between us
Now he is omnipresent in your life than before
We have to battle with our separation
For you kept not to the promise
Of not digging the grave of your past relationships
Where did we go wrong in making our choices?
My children, your children, our children have robbed us joy
Rose i really like this poem.You have brought critical issues that we fail to address when seeking suitors-children. Your have carefully chosen your words and brought out the message tactfully. Thanks for sharing, i am sure it will inspire many who are looking for spouses.
A true picture of the present society has been depicted nicely though it is sad. Thanks for sharing.
Rose, where do you really get your words from to bring out sensitive issues? you give us wings of courage to dedicate your poems where we cannot master the courage...Good piece and a 10 score from me.Keep up to the great work poetess
Where did we go wrong in making our choices? My children, your children, our children have robbed us joy good question
When lovers are dating especially those with children, there is a tendency to hide the truth about their relationship with the ex or baby daddies/mummies and what happens is what you have written here Rose but to both parties. A 10 for your courage in this.
Great choice of words. It is so real, it is happening. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for reading and jotting down your comments-the sad reality we face in the modern society...too many skeletons in the cupboards can ruin what was expected to be a happy union, its becoming a vermin hence the need for full disclosure for either sex/gender...
Great choice of words on a sensitive topic that the majority would rather never talk about.
You have brought out the moral decadence in a marriage not well thought about, created the scenario of a typical 'modern day' union. I like the question you pose at the end? Great work Rose.

Wow, this is sad. Very complicated yet common these days. Choices we make sometimes in haste have consequences that keep rippling out and affecting all around us. Good poem!
