My love is not disdained by your sharp tongue
I’d rather your tongue hate me than your eyes
Time has mellowed that what we did when young
With our courting under brooding dark skies.
Our love has stood the test of time quite well
In my heart there is lots of room for thee,
It’s where my love for thee richly does dwell
And quietly lets by what has to be.
Be whatever you are for you are strong
But curb that sharp tongue and not let it rule
And do admit that you are sometimes wrong
For anger is something not learnt at school.
Don’t let anger rule your heart, it’s not wise
It could thus make another’s heart despise.
So true, lovely, nice, beautiful, worth, and meaningful...all in this write! ! _Soul
Spit it out David, anger can not prevail if the eyes don't have it. Some of us know.

A sharp tongue can scathe and wound! But in family life, to win over the other, sometimes harsh words are uttered. To forgive this and leave room for love is the noblest trait and the secret to an enduring relationship! A very realistic picture of the small brawls that can arise between partners! A great Sonnet! This deserves a 10
The wisdom in this poem is great. The sharp tongue of our partners tends to hurt us but if we have loved them for so long, we tend to forgive automatically whatever nasty things have been said. I have learned over the years something like this, David: If someone is angry with me, I try to look at the why. Often the problem is in the angry person and so much in us. Thich Nath Hanh said it so nicely: if someone causes you to suffer, it means that they suffer inside so much that their own suffering is spoiling over. They generally need help rather than our anger. This being said, it is not always easy to live up to this principle. WIth time and practice however it tends to get easier. Wow, David, this is really a very nice and thought provoking Sonnet. A super 10
Don’t let anger rule your heart and curb that sharp tongue. Nice advice for a couple to follow. Thank you.
how true Sir! most of the arguments that a couple dwells into are useles, , baseless, , but they lead into a big fight thereby damaging ones own right
A great Sonnet, David about Love! When stung by abee the wound heal but not when with a sharp tongue!

I would like to translate this poem
No, its never worth it, but its being human, I guess. Marriage so often betrays a battle of wills or egos. Another great sonnet David.
