Tantrum
Yes, Sandra's poem creates a feeling of discomfort. One reminiscent of verbal/physical abuse and control that creates a feeling of fear and intimidation. However, that's not a reason to not like it [at least not for me]. The other poem, posted by Kush in the other section, spoke to relationship dysfunction, as well. Both did it powerfully, however, and that's what counts.
Of course, I took the "Is this God's will?" as being in regard to the relationship, as one sits and watches such pandemonium over being unable to locate keys. However, another perspective might be that she was wanting him to stay, and secretly wonders if this is God's will that he cannot locate his keys....or, perhaps, she's even hidden them [and dare not say a word]

I do not know what you imagine that I imagined, Sandra. If you imagined that I imagined it is a woman who ask herself if it is God's will that she has to be in love with a man that can do a tantrum because he does not find a set of key, you are right. I do not want to go further in your intimacy or the one of your poetry, of course. I am pleased to enjoy your poetry as is.
Though it brings to me thoughts of my own. I'll ask questions about this in the next post.
Your influence Sandra. Not that I blame it on you, mind you, just that I recognize the fact. I am so easily influenced.

As adults we have to perform under all hats that adults are waring : at work, at school, as a parent of child(ren), as a child of elder parents, at the sport club, and so on. We are doing our duty without not so much regard of our rights, of being happy of doing all this in general, most of the time, we agree withouth much reluctance to be frustrated by bosses, colleagues, relatives, friends, others in general that we encounter during a day, because we think that this is how life is (I guess).
Now came the love relationship, and it is like all the expectations of happiness and easiness and caring that are not fulfilled elsewere in life are poured in it. And I speak for women as well as for men, although the expectations could be very different, sometimes. No duty only rights. No efforts should be made because "love is natural". Hum....
This seems to me so unbalanced and unfair. Too much is asked to the love relationship. This is not realistic and therefore, not viable, and a source of no necessary sadness.
What do you think about this?
