The Marriage Zipper

by Bill Scott   Feb 14, 2016


A Zipper discloses the consummate partner
Their conversing divides honor the other
Exposed while apart they yearn for the further
They conceive of the day when their sides clasp together
Their handler upraises to align one another
They converge to embrace and fasten together
While embraces ascend their clasps leave their stream
Their history of embraces transforms the seam.
From two distinct pieces to one flowing line
No longer divided, a love so sublime
Intertwined now as one, they reach for the skies
Marriage, the last alteration, in the grand tailor's eyes...

    And then as the zipper becomes unzipped, divorced is what they might strive for. Yet being unzipped for sometime, doesn't necessarily implies divorce, unless the zipper cannot be in zip ever again, then it just means that the zipper either was defective from the start or the zipper gave all of it's life... Or ultimately, divorce was the answer after all.

    Haha I like that. That was creative. I also enjoyed the rhymes. Welcome to poems and quotes.

    I supposed one could think of marriage that way. Unfortunately, in the case of a zipper, the zipper doesn't get to choose when to unzip itself, it is unzipped by someone's hand, and in a marriage, the couple can decide not to let anyone unzip them. However, some marriage do let others get in the way of their marriage.
