Notes About The Poem

This poem is a figment of my imagination. It's about what a husband who loves his wife would feel if he ever was neglected by his wife - MBF

Husband Dear


I romance you, but you romance the sparkling stone
I love you with my heart, but your heart is in the phone

I talk to you lovingly, you talk to our little pet Tommy
I ask you to cook for me, you turn to call your mommy

I question, what ever happened to our undying love?
You look fixedly at me, and wonder why I’m asking now?

Roses were red, violets were blue when we used to date
Now, rubies are red, sapphires are blue as I curse my fate

Marriage, before it, I had my liberty and was independent 
Since you entered my life, my neck has a  collar with a pendant

You never cease talking to your friends, and your mother
Over phone, when I make an urgent call you don’t bother

I know you love me, but it is for your own self-interest
Which actually means you love what is good for your rest

I know you love me but you know it is, also, for your own good
Like the goose that laid the golden eggs, I’d worry about your mood

You wish to be one of high society and take part in kitty party
To be at home and manage the house instead of being nasty

Not worrying about cooking, children, and their school
From work I return, to do your chores, again to be a fool

Hahaha... If you observe keenly around you there's so much to write. I suggest you also read the wife's rejoinder. Sometimes creaking doors hang the longest. They cannot manage each other, also they cannot live without each other :) Thank you, Darlene. Blessings to you!

In the movie: "As good as it gets", the main characters' book-publishers' secretary asks how he's able to write women so well and he says; "I think of a man and take away reason, and accountability". When I started laughing at that my wife said; "That's not funny!"

I wonder then, given your new-found understanding, whether you would consider undertaking an analysis of your work with the object of a sequel? ;~}
