Angela Crabtree Poet Rhyme

So Far So Good

It's one o'clock in the morning
he usually goes to bed
while I'm up mourning
the absence of company instead

maybe he's finally realizing
that it's overrated
and to ensure our hours are equalizing
sleeping is generated

games not played though seemingly
time spent in conjunction
I'm not Eve manipulating she merely
wants not to malfunction

this is glorious
we're not concerned with tomorrow
sugar with snips are notorious
the cliché I'll somewhat borrow

he's still awake 
I can't believe it
I'm waiting for the earth to quake
bliss flickers for not to split

Paula Goldsmith February 19, 2021 at 8:36 AM Now, both couples and singles are having different kinds of problems then they did years ago. A new life for all. Have a blessed day writing away................ Angela Crabtree February 20, 2021 at 1:09 PM Thank you, Paula. You're right. It is much different than what I remember my parents going through. Hope you have a great weekend :)

Panagiota Romios February 18, 2021 at 1:02 PM I liked this one. Perhaps because I like differences in a relationship that should be honored. Love..."We're not concerned about tomorrow"...how awesome.

Jennifer Proxenos February 16, 2021 at 5:42 AM This poem is heartfelt - all I wish for you both is strength and love - today couples are responsible for so much, each one involved in what has to be done - this is how things are today, in the life we all live.

Vijay Pandit February 16, 2021 at 5:05 AM Nice to be not concerned about tomorrow once in a while. He is still awake--perhaps the same things on his mind.

Hope you have a great weekend :)

Victor Buhagiar February 15, 2021 at 10:49 PM Not an ideal situation. Seems when he goes to sleep you have other things to do. Never had such an experience. ~~ Angela Crabtree February 20, 2021 at 12:33 PM Thank you, Victor. We do need to synchronize our time. Hope you have a great weekend :)
