A smile shone wide and one to meet.
Suburban life, a humble surrender.
The patient wife and her male defender.
Sit busily and wait to die.
Lofty dreams have gone awry.
This ship is flooded, sinking fast.
Dragged down by anchors weight so vast.
Its galley full with falling tears
The people drowning in endless fears
They watch themselves fade slowly out
Smile silent against the urge to shout
Every morn they war anew,
Pray for release from fresh-laid dew.
Another day holds promise yet,
To silence cries of vague regret.

Blissful Domesticity

A hand held fast in warmest greet
A smile shone wide and one to meet.
Suburban life, a humble surrender.
The patient wife and her male defender.
Sit busily and wait to die.
Lofty dreams have gone awry.
This ship is flooded, sinking fast.
Dragged down by anchors weight so vast.
Its galley full with falling tears
The people drowning in endless fears
They watch themselves fade slowly out
Smile silent against the urge to shout
Every morn they war anew,
Pray for release from fresh-laid dew.
Another day holds promise yet,
To silence cries of vague regret.

I find it sad that the more crafted poetry, such as this, solicit so few comments. You have done a very nice job of creating a metaphor and truly developing it. An excellent summary of the dangers of security.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
