Soosan Khanoom

Looking for Mr. Goodbar

Nice poem Soosan Khanoom. I can tell that it's coming from the heart!

It reminded me of Don't Ask to Stay Until Tomorrow by Marlena Shaw from the movie Looking for Mr. Goodbar

نه مى‌‏دانيم عشق چيست.

- امروز چه روزى است؟
- ما خود تمامىِ روزهاييم اى دوست
ما خود زند‌گى‏ايم به تمامى اى يار،
يكديگر را دوست مى‌‏داريم و زند‌گى مى‏‌كنيم
زند‌گى مى‏‌كنيم و يكديگر را دوست مى‌‏داريم و
نه مى‌‏دانيم زند‏گى چيست و
نه مى‏‌دانيم روز چيست و
نه مى‌‏دانيم عشق چيست.

Oh Mamy Blue, Oh Mamy...

Well, poetry has all different levels and altitudes, below the surface, above the surface, below the sheets, above the sheets, no sheets at all, sometimes it's as subterranean as it gets. Once a year is a pretty good arrangement though..

I leave you with this oldie of mine.

MG..... oh là là

Indeed it sounds too tempting !!

I haven't seen the movie and never heard of it but I will have it on my to watch list   ... thanks for the link  

You and me may not politically get along but poetically we can get along pretty well   ; ) 

SK: amen to that

Tis begining to sound like this movie:

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqpWAiLJZOw

//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_Time,_Next_Year

Story of two lovers that meet once a year, and make poetry, under the sheets. Same time, next year: pretty simple plot.

Now, a once a year commitment: that  is very tempting.

LOL ... Divaneh

You know it has been said that the secret to a good marriage is in its secrets ... 

  : ) 

Conclusion

Every person needs a spouse and a lover.

Thanks for the good poem.

That was really a good article...I agree with many things he said especally if I look at it with my western eyes ....   I, however, have the opposite in mind and  that is because in  the Iranian culture you get married for diferent reasons other that what he stated. ...I will write more later...

but thanks I really liked the article especially this statement which is so true and the sad thing is that these types of affairs are going unnoticed and there is no punishment for it .... 

"But "affairs" don't always happen in the form of "marital infidelity." Many times people find extramarital fulfillment in activities outside of marriage such as work, a profession, church, religion, a hobby, a friendship, substance abuse, social life or "traveling for business."

dear SK,

I didn't know you wrote the poem! But rhymes and poetry aside, this might be some interesting reading. Perhaps there is no right person after all, just the right attitude and emotional growth.

I Married the Wrong Person!

Bavafa jan

I hope this lovey dovey marriage of yours last for a long time .....   There is always an exception to the rules ..... You probably have picked your lover to spend the rest of your life with rather than just an spouse.

:  ) 

Truthseeker9 thanks for stopping by

Poor reader he thinks he is married to the right person.  : ) 

PS ... this poem may well be non-personal .. i will take the 5th on that but i had fun writing and rhyming ....

And it speaks of many marriages that are doomed to fail ....   

Anahid ....

I agree forever is a long time ....

Why should we wait till death do us apart ?   

 LOL  

Dear Yolanda

You brought up a very good question and a great point .... I will write about in much more detail and will sate my opinion on this issue ... 

Thanks

Also

Women do not need Viagra but men do .... You see for men  as much as they talk sex thay can not do it as they age ... yes talk is cheap...... but for women, however, it is completely the opposite ...That is why older men and younger women are sexually more able to satisfy themselves and the same is true for older women with younger men .... I am speaking about the Hormonal levels which has been scientifically proven...

Rea

How can you say there is no difference ??? 

LOL .....  

When they both need viagra

..... the only difference is in the pocket.

Me down to earth. ;o)

Late here, nite. 

..........

So who doomed the relationship and the love? The kid(s)?

Poor poet

I think she married the wrong person.

Nice poem Soosan Khanoom.

It does look like that some married couples are not enjoying their married life. I think in this time and age, may be the idea that two people stay together 40/50/60 years, it is a bit scary. But if you look at a marriage and it lasted some years and some good came out of it, may be it is good enough. When it gets to the point when people are not enjoying it, they should get divorce and find another relationship that makes them happy.

Ten years ago, I would've said ...

.... yeah. But not now.

Unless he pays the bills, there is no difference except for the virtual blah, blah. 

For some one that is not into poetry

I really enjoyed this one.

And it may sound corny, but my lover is my spouse and no…we are not newly wed :)

Thanks for sharing it.
