The baggage that comes with affairs <br />Today can be heavy, and needs <br />Skill to unload. It contains rarely <br />Anything more than scared, bruised seeds <br />Of hurt, or frustrated anger, <br />Which, if not distilled into love <br />Will grow hard and burst, banging <br />The life out of any fresh move <br />To conduct an affair with sense. <br />Hurt needs healing first, and past pain <br />Will never bring ease to present <br />Deeds, so forgive and forget. Shame <br />At admitting the blame will lead <br />To an unending wheel which spins <br />Nowhere at all. Anger only feeds <br />Fires of hate, so why not begin <br />Afresh and unclutter the heart. <br />New love deserves a decent start.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-uncluttered-love/
