The Day That Was Never Promised Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
The Day That Was Never Promised
Today marked the day
When they became one
In the eyes of God and men
Bounded by a cord
And a ring that has no end.
They promised
Their love and faithfulness
It has been written
In the core of their hearts
And imbibed
In the recesses of their minds.
Hand in hand
They passed the sun
And God's morning star
Seven thousand six hundred seventy times
The shooting star that landed
Before their very eyes
They made a wish to live together
Forever.
For seven long years
Their bond has been tested
By the fires of adversity
And the storms of life
After which their love
Is likened to the strongest steel
Strengthened and molded
In the most difficult times.
But the mills of change
Grind slowly
And the vessel of love
Has been broken
The vows that they sworn
For each other have been breached
And the rings that signify
Love and fidelity for each other
Are never worn.
Their hearts where their love
Have been written
They keep a record
Of all their wrongs and treacheries
The faces that they love and adore
Each and every morning
They torment
Their very souls.
The day that they became
One flesh
It has been thrown
Into the vessel
Of forgotten memories.

Your great comment, Dr. Dillip is always a.treasure. Thank you.
In the eyes of God promises are given for happy living. But the mills of change grinds slowly and vessel of love if breaks this provokes thought. We hope love will be revived and beauty of life will shine. An amazing brilliant poem is shared...10
From beautiful beginnings to an unfortunate end, beautifully landscaped with your words!
It is so sad that the star crossed lovers could never come together! For long seven years they had been deeply in love with each other and had built dream castles of a happy and blissful life of togetherness! Unfortunately shattering all their dreams and their very hearts, impediments came their way and they had to part in pain! Fate is sometimes very cruel. A touching poem of estranged love! A sure 10

A beautiful poem that depicts reality of some if not most marriages that starts with a beautiful promise but ends in bitterness.
