After Black Tie Dinner Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Most couples, from their future, with dismay
attempt to hide as years add tears to doubt,
reminding one that life seems roundabout
gone haywire, fun affection run astray.
Black tie affairs too often day-to-day
regrets, hedged bets, must mask as inside out.
impressions fool, fears false conventions flout,
too few prove love's success in sharing way.
Rewards are justly won. The interplay
Instinctive of your talents is without
counterfeit fête; bluff though all about
in black and white back from right track, bright play.
Though cummerbund funds infidelity
restore from monochrome integrity.
