Art by Paul Benett
restless; heaving; i’ve wandered in search for solace.
a special place reserved for me alone by fate.
memphis, athens; the ancient cities of poems.
peter, sophia; their hallowed sites and domes,
i greeted them enthralled,
yet depart from them unawed.
forgive me talitha; i have made you wait.
the love of my life, my lady of grace,
i ask of you, will you be my home?

Was talking to a few friends over dinner and marriage came up as a topic. How early should it come to mind in a relationship? We had differing views.
One friend discussed it early while another had not despite many years of dating. Personally, I’ve thought it (or at least the possibility) as something preliminary to a serious relationship. .___.
