Affair
Be it media mogul celebrities who met on ‘the set’ we’re told via tabloid tales Or a husband, wife duo living next door Is the ‘love’ expressed any less real Is the lust experienced filled with any less ‘feel’ for them?
Of hurt and pain will the onslaught being cached in clandestine reserve soon to be known prove any less damaging for partners and children left at home, who wait patiently to be touched within the marrow of bone by revelations of infidelity drawing near, welling up, reservoirs of torrent tears which across entire families will be flowing like rain
Of promises made now vows forsaken will these lovers in their dream state be awakened by the sweep of reality’s nightmare unleashed by legality’s sharks who shear and fleece for the joy, for the bucks protracted and taken in reveled exchange of each hidden copulation tryst disguised as love-making
Digging deeper the hole of self indulgence, disgust for violations, deceit, abuse of one’s trust Ages old axiom repetitively ignored when beyond arm’s length we dare to explore And so once more we come to know inevitably, we reap that which we sow
