The Zen Sprit of True Love Or What Is Love Part Two

the one walks out 
of your dreams
and into your life
becoming your wife
my wife one day
was berating me 
for all my myriad faults
all my sins against her
my omissions and commissions
malfeasance and misfeasance 
things I had done
and things i had failed to do
all of which I acknowledge
and apologized for

and apologized for
but finally I had enough
I said 
well if I am so bad
so horrible
so evil a creature
and a person you hate 
so much 
why the hell did you marry me
she laughed 
temporarly insanity
and I am still insane
twenty five years later
we both laughed

we both laughed 
and fell in love 
again
as always 
we fall in love
with each other 
every day
every moment
every second
it dawned on me
I had the answer to the question
and that my friends 
is the true unknowable madness 
the true zen spirit of love
