  The Abandoned Husband

  not of your own accord would you slip away and leave this fragile and wounded man unattended.

  i love you deeply, but, i admit, erratically.

  my flaws are manifold.

  i dreamed, once again, you were at my side talking, laughing, loving.

  the sun warmed my face and you my heart as we lived a life forever.. i awoke with a start that left behind the land of our past, viewing my today for the misery and sadness that, truly, it is and ever shall be.. is it better to live in the land of dreams with the one i love or to exist alone and awake, recalling the dark intent that poisoned your heart?.

  I recall most of the words, Nancy, but had never actually seen them written out. It does help to see and read them.

  THANKS!

  It is not too late.

  If you cannot open that closed door and return to our former reality, please come back to me in my dreams, where my pitiable life has long since taken up lodging . . .

  Hey there, stuckinarut2:

  No need to apologize. As a poet, I don't always speak my mind and heart in a straightforward fashion. The above is a portion of a larger body of work expressing my pain -- and perhaps that of others -- over abandonment by those whose primary devotion is to their religion. I cannot judge too harshly because I once was a religious fanatic.

  The man who asks his love why she left him is a needy man, he's a flawed soul, but he loves her above all else. Why is she unable -- unwilling -- to ignore all the noise from the outside and simply focus on him? There's always some justification for leaving the spiritually weak mate; perhaps it's so-called spiritual endangerment. The abandoned mate, male or female, is often broken beyond repair.

  I'm lucky because I recovered.

  Thanks for posting!

  Delightful, Nancy. Twisted brain? I think not.

  Hi Magnum: in part, the "religion" that was once dear to our hearts became an overpowering obsession -- obeyed at all costs -- to some of our mates.

  POISON.

  THANKS!

  Who took you from me?

  Not of your own accord would you slip away and leave this fragile and wounded man unattended. I love you deeply, but, I admit, erratically. My flaws are manifold. Aren't your friends and family -- God Himself -- aware of my urgent, pressing needs? Have they insinuated themselves into your psyche and persuaded you that your once unbridled affection for me is unhealthy?

  Have you tired of loving him whose devotion to you is complete?

  You are my reason for living. Why, then, am I not yours?

  I am absorbed in the moment, all alone in this merciless world.

  But I think of sweeter days, days when you, my faithful loving companion were at my side.

  You were ever at the ready to meet my pressing needs: those of heart, body, soul.

  Who took you from me?

  Yes, Nancy, in one of those moods.

  You are, on the one hand, light and breezy -- hilarious -- in your little poems; on the other hand, like now, you are profound, offering good, useful advice.

  I like your point of enjoying the moment of fantasy -- like sipping a glass of wine on the beach -- but then our having to move on back into the real. A friend, with whom I haven't spoken in 50 years, reappeared, and she is like you in her sensible but sensitive approach to life and the people who inhabit it.

  Blessings and peace, Nancy dear.
