Poem Title:
Poem
In melancholy moments Tinkering with the past What would have happened If a letter was read? A question asked? Something not left unsaid? I have run all those Thoughts through It is wonderful to do A sweet dream askew Of reality’s pose But no matter these Thought experiments I just can’t get past Her And what She meant Even in reveries The peak none can surmount My one thing with no doubt God smiled, again I found love Not just because of my kids But because of who She is It is hard to think about Her and others Without comparisons, which isn’t Fair to any, nor wise to do But it comes down to a few Reasons it makes sense She is like the ocean or a glacier The planet’s movement Irresistible with time She entwined herself in me Like the roots of an ancient oak Over years and moments Strong like hearthstone She is growth, long, patient, pressing She is decades of shared experience Joy, adversity, family, and sentiments She has never faltered in love She was always steady in Us Even when She threatens I know She won’t do it Because I see the deep abiding Love in Her eyes, hear it hiding In Her sighs. She’s mine. And that is how it is with me too. I exhaust Her with my desires I get to make Her show feelings Send Her pinwheeling I get to stoke Her deep fires. So let me say it plain and true No matter what love may do Or what may come through I married The One, She is my wife I married The One She is my life
