T(w)ogether!

Together in sunlight, rain and rust..
A couple retrospect in their twilight years...
Its not always roses;
But sometimes lichen and dust
That life offered;
But they stood undeterred
Through the tests of time...
They were together in sunlight, rain and rust..!

(PS: I made this painting from a reference painting and
 would like to dedicate this little painting and the poem to my parents :) )

Starting Trouble?

This is a very old creation of mine. But posting it now here as it is suitable for the topic!

354_Marriage

Today's topic is Marriage.

"You know what getting married is? It's agreeing to taking this person who right now is at the top of his form, full of hopes and ideas, feeling good, looking good, wildly interested in you because you're the same way, and sticking by him while he slowly disintegrates. And he does the same for you. You're his responsibility now and he's yours. If no one else will take care of him, you will. If everyone else rejects you, he won't. What do you think love is? Going to bed all the time?"
~ Jane Smiley, novelist (b.1949)

"Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution."
~ Mae West

“Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.”
~ Albert Einstein

 “Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage.”
~ Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary
