Illusion/delusion

Gazing in to her misted eyes,
he signed the marriage contract.
Giving in with softest of sighs,
she thought, “so what if he has cataract?!”

.......................................................................

# It is but a rough draft. I am not satisfied with it. I can't seem to get it the way I desire it. I posted it anyway. Suggestions are welcome.

    But her eyes are the ones that are "misted." So I think maybe the cataract is actually in her eye and she only thinks it's in his.

    Star crossed lovers I guess. Maybe eye crossed if they keep inspecting each other for cataracts so much I guess...

    buffalo: Thanks!

    ghosty: The point is what is missing? Any clue?

    paul: I wanted to conveyexactly that. The cataract is in her eyes. I didn't think it has come across that well. From your comments it seems it has..

    kai: How deep, sweety?

    whitesnake: try me!

    trinitystar: Thanks.

    dsnake1: As I still can't decide what is missing, I will leave it as it is for now.

    The 5 CARAT ring on her finger helped to COUNTERACT the involuntary CONTRACTION in her digestive TRACT.

    Misted eyes reflecting,
    marriage contract signed
    sighing now, softly she wonders,
    what if the mote,
    is actually a cataract?

    Hope you don't mind, I couldn't resist playing a bit.

    The music's there. But if you feel it's not right, tweak some more until it becomes "untweakable."

    don, ascenderrisesabove, polona and margie: thanks.

    h.e./donn: It does seem that way, the CHIP is heavier than the cataract!

    dewyknickers: you version stands alone too. Thanks.


    andrew: I am not so sure but if nothing comes within a day or two, I will live is as it is.

    rethabile: You know how the mind of a poet works. The bug is not letting me rest easy. I still can't get it right.

    I really like your experiments with twisted endings - this verse for instance is very witty and defintely clever!
