~Stress~
Long day, home from work
Success chased to exhaustion;
She with mindless tasks to do,
Her therapy ~ dinner and laundry.
He in recliner with mindless ease
Drinks beer, slowly grows rounder.
Decades pass until one day
Heart's revenge, full measure paid.
Long day, home from work
Successfully exhausted;
With decades ahead
Still does mindless tasks,
Her therapy ~ dinner and laundry.
With day's final act folds stress away
Alone.

PatHous56almost 18 years agoPainful though they might be, of a man destroying himself while his wife goes another route to relieve stress. A little activity goes a long way in dumping the day's stress and pain. Why not another poem to show the pair helping each other dealing with their stress? Patricia
CaPic267about 18 years agoLeon, You see so clearly a marriage's shortcomings. While one spouse handles her day's stress by doing simple everyday chores, the other closes in on himself by trying to drown his stress in beer. And you STILL haven't remarried? Oh dear. CP
Wanton Vixxxenabout 18 years agothrough lonliness and faded interest. Here I see you have captured the kind of ill fate that breeds the disease of many an ailing marriage. I am entralled with this once personally too close for comfort series you have stylized in such sad, but oft true scenes.
Once again, this is one of your best penned emotions wrought pieces, Leon.

The Gentle Man06over 18 years agoLeon, you captured a universal truth that sadly has been the fate of many couples. Thanks for sharing!
