None saved for us
Letting the fire burn out. A Nonet.
Our first kiss triggered passionate fire.
We burned hot like young lovers do,
then matured, created sparks:
three beautiful children.
So much love for them;
none saved for us.
Neglected,
our flame
died.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Gotta keep the passion alive. My problem is I had none in my first marriage; it was more of a need or desire to feel secure. Passion got me into a lot of trouble, 😂. Now I am quite sure it's humour that keeps me going. Loved this !
This poignant narrative of love's evolution, from fiery passion to parental devotion, resonates deeply, great work, love it, subscribed, thanks for sharing!
Perfectly crafted ,lovely
Brilliant job.
