website update in progress… down for a while

Renewal

β€œI shouldn’t have hit you,” you say.,
As you pass me my green tee.

β€œI threw a pan at you,” I say,
As I put it in my suitcase.

β€œHow did we come to this,” you ask,
Holding our favorite photo frame.

β€œI won’t be taking that,” I tell you,
Reminiscing how happy we were.

β€œWhat about this?,” you ask,
Holding the scrap-book we made.

β€œWhat happened to us?” I ask,
Reaching out to your hand instead.

β€œWe played the blame game,” you say,
Pulling your hand away.

β€œDo you still love me?,” I ask,
Teary eyed, I look at you.

β€œJust as much as you do,” you reply,
And pass me the mug you got me for Valentines.

β€œIt doesn’t matter now,” I say,
As I squeeze the mug between my clothes.

β€œLet’s renew it,” you say,
Pulling our scrap-book out.

β€œWhat do you mean,” I ask,
As confused as I can be.

β€œWe shared love,” you say,
Opening a picture of us.

β€œNow let’s share the blame too,” you continue,
With your eyes full of hope.
β€œI’m sorry, I was horrible,” I apologize,
You just shake your head in disapproval.
β€œWe are sorry, we messed it up,”  you say,
As you wrap your arms around me.

β€œLet’s fix our mess,” I reply,
As I pass you my blue jeans.

For Eugi’s Weekly Prompt “Renewal”

    This is an interesting poem. I like the heartfelt apologies shared and acknowledged.
    Recognition that there is no one at fault just the way responses to feelings became a new story with walls.
    Where does the story go from here?
    Do they seek the root of the conflict?
    Is there a happy ending?

    RENEWAL (MARITAL BLISS V)

    Amid the
    Slowly settling
    Smouldering rubble
    Of what remained
    Of the living room,

    Still faintly quivering
    With the last echoes
    Of our screaming havoc,

    She took a deep breath,
    Rubbed her hands together and smiled.

    β€œWell,” she said, β€œthat’s cleared the air.
    Shall we have a cup of tea?”

    ~~~~~ ~ ~~~~~

    My partner (and I for that matter) wish to deny that this piece in any way describes our relationship. πŸ™‚

        I recall reading years ago that laughter often arises when a person (or a group/audience) is suddenly confronted with something which is completely at odds with the way they are currently (mentally) viewing a certain scene. Look at any Monty Python skit for example. In this case a couple who have just had a blazing row when she has returned to her senses and proposes they go back to “normal” as if what just happened did not occur.
