The Poems We Didn'T Write

I
The Poems I didn't write
Are words that sit tight
In throat, trials, every fight
Between Beloveds

II
She told others but just not him
His loving, living, quarreling
Were poetry in motion, a ring
Of words binding 
Finger, hand, heart

III
Imagine a world, a family, couples ...
Who spoke the poems of life & love?

Hello Anil. Well now, always will it remain sad for the loving words and way that are not spoken written or told. Your ending thoughts of family couples without love to me is unthinkable thus your words are powerful and leave us with thought. May this day find you well and safe. It was an honor turning to this entry. Shalom and Namaste now and always. (smile smile smile)

This is so stirring, that is the question and the answer, what we do and don't say, love your concluding lines, so poignant~
