Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

If You Love Her

Listen to her with all of you
   Your fists clenched
   Your lips together
   Your head moving, slightly, side to side 

Perched on the edge of your seat
   Tilt your spine forward
   
Search for the soul deep within her eyes
   Gently ... Don't frighten her

Make her feel she is the most important person in the whole world 
   Nothing else matters except what she is telling you 

Hear what is in her voice 
   Her interests ... become yours 
  
Capture her heart
   Never let it go

Tansy Roekaerts September 10, 2020 at 8:20 PM That is the way to capture her heart. Sadly no man I know of knows this. Your lady is lucky. Gershon Wolf September 11, 2020 at 1:51 PM Thanks for the acknowledgment, Tansy... I just do the best I can to 'shut-up and listen.' ... Learned from the Patriarch Abraham, whom God told: "Listen 'in' her (Sarah's) voice," meaning that Abraham should hear the tone and timbre of his wife's voice. I.e., he should hear her emotions first and respond to them... Someone once taught me to say 'You sound upset,' or 'You sound frustrated.' Works wonders. Thanks again and Happy Weekend, Gershon

Line Gauthier September 29, 2018 at 10:55 PM A poem revisited, Gershon. What awesome wisdom, especially when we realize that we never know what little time we have with our loved ones. A FAVE for sure. Gershon Wolf September 29, 2018 at 11:31 PM So very interesting that I revisited this poem myself at almost exactly the same time that you did! And thank you for the complimentary comment! … Best always, Gershon

Michelle Faulkner August 13, 2018 at 2:31 PM My hubby and I are celebrating our 13th in September - part of what keeps us going is he makes me feel like 'the most important person in the whole world' and I try to do the same for him - the last two lines certainly captured me! Gershon Wolf August 13, 2018 at 5:05 PM Very, very good! May you both be in love forever! ~ gw
