Best Better Half Poems
My better half whispers for me to do right.
I never listen to my soul until I'm desperate.
I feel it,I breath it.It makes my stomach roar.
My better half tells me I'm hungry. Eat.
I process the field of battle.
Just one more time.
Ill plant my flag.
My hands are stained red.
I am at the door to victory.
But the door is locked
The key wont turn.
Foiled again.
If you do that once more I'm done.
You promised. Swore.
Pledged your allegiance to my flag.
My flag is old and in need of repair.
Honor to my flag.It's done.
The battle is won in defeat.
I need one more chance.
My better half is taking a victory lap.
Accepts me for what I am.
Believes me for what I can.
Cares for me all the time.
Drives me crazy.
Encourages me to do my best.
Follows up and follows me through.
Guides me when I am lost.
Honors my feelings and decisions.
Informs me when I don't know.
Judges me not so quickly.
Kissess me everyday.
Loves me unconditionally.
Marries me only.
Nourishes my relationship to God.
Plays with me ocassionally.
Quickly forgives my mistakes.
Reminds of me of my greatness.
Saves me from everything.
Teaches me the life's lessons.
Understands my shortcomings.
Value everything what I share.
Wakes me up every morning.
Xperiencees ups and downs with me.
Yearns to stay with me.
Zest to live, love, and laugh with me 'till the end

White, blue and red
With you in life I wed
Babushka you may not like
Moya supraga I will surely like.
BETTER HALF
for Roger and Tessa
I feel his presence as if he stood before me
My thoughts are tea-leaves only he can read
A brain scan shows I want him to adore me
While my heart shows for him my wanton need.
I trawl through the day, he could never bore me
I think of him even when I bleed
Heart of my heart, friend to never score me
Necklace of desire, bead after bead -
He knows my ways, how to love and shore me;
His speech shows me where and how to lead;
He never hurts, his will would never core me,
Or leave me hungry where I want to feed:
At times we see ourselves, strange and rude -
Clasp each other, beautiful and nude.
(c) Rosemarie Rowley
From IN MEMORY OF HER (2008)
Not a single day escapes from me
That in thought you are not near.
Your lovely smile always brings
To each new day a ray of cheer.
Oft times, in thought, I question
What life without you would be.
Should I awake and find you gone
And there remained no one but me.
In you is the heart of a servant
Your love I could not resist.
Until the end you'll always be
My rose that the dew has kissed.
Written for my wife on our 44th wedding anniversary
which we spent in the home of Ricky & Shirlene
Whenever
I inhale aroma of fresh caffeine
briskly
I go breathless ,an act ,expecting
you to walk out from the chinese coffin!
You are the anchor that holds me in place
Without you my life would be just an empty space
You are my strength when I grow weak
Inspiration I draw from comforting words you speak
I find solace in your arms when I want to cry
When I'm feeling down, you lift my spirits up high
When I'm troubled, you have a listening ear
I turn to you because I know you will hear
In my darkest days you always look on the bright side
You see right through me, there's nothing I can hide
Your warm hugs and kisses lets me know it will be all right
That makes me want to love you more with all my might
A day without you would be a day not worth living
I write this poem as a token of my love and thanksgiving
Howe blessed I am to have someone as wonderful as you
In every way, you are all my dreams come true
The spirit of the woman I love
has changed me, this I do know
The sheer force of her femininity
has made me a better man, absolutely so
She engages me with godly dialog,
it helps elevate my consciousness
She's the woman I've always desired,
who truly makes me feel blessed
She's my better half
Lord knows, she is the best
She completes my identity,
I love her unconditionally, I confess
The spirit of the man I love
is so amazing, this I do feel
He loved me in spite of my
brokenness
God has blessed me from above,
with this man's love I'm now healed
He caresses my heart like a dove's sigh,
with such gentle tenderness
He's my better half
God knit our hearts together
He completes me so in every way,
I'm his soul mate and lover forever

Freedom's finally mine, at the threshold
of the forest where trees turned bluish-green,
to a sea of grass that men does withhold.
Summer country comfort my absence been.
Of the forest where trees turned bluish-green,
from one end of the vale to another
summer country comfort my absence been.
But for the grace of God blessed I wonder.
From one end of the vale to another
walking in the country the days go by,
but for the grace of God blessed I wonder
still I think of you, only you, pure sky.
Walking in the country the days go by,
who wouldn't wanna be me to look on thee,
still I think of you, only you, pure sky.
These are the days that God's been good to me.
Who wouldn't wanna be me to look on thee,
you can't hide beautiful, what about me.
These are the days that God's been good to me
you won, you're the only one, eyes best see.
You can't hide beautiful, what about me.
You're not alone tonight, don’t shut me out.
You won; you're the only one, eyes best see.
Some days you gotta dance and whirl about.
You're not alone tonight, don’t shut me out.
You're my better half and only you dove.
Some days you gotta dance and whirl about;
somebody like you, tangled up in love.
You're my better half and only you dove.
Live to love another day, better life
somebody like you, tangled up in love.
Stuck in the middle spellbound as my wife.
Live to love another day, better life
to a sea of grass that men does withhold.
Stuck in the middle spellbound as my wife
freedom's finally mine, at the threshold.

Do not pretend before your better - half
Do real instead, of lacking un real
If one smiles, let it grow more
If one cries, let it stop soon
If one hurts, let it blow breeze
If one opens the eyes, you can close slowly
If one closes, better eyes left open
If one is angry, fly from the scene
If one is shameful, mock the cause
If one is contemptuous, teach him not
If one is contented, pat her well
If one is afraid, hug her tight
If one is romantic, let loose the string!
In every way you astonish me,
Like the birds marvelous enrichment of flight,
My heart is subjected to your every sight,
The light complexion,
The sweet expression,
The magnificent extensions.
No mere mortal can resist your beauty ,
as beautiful is a word that defines you
but a word that does not express you.
The light of my heart ,
so undefined but yet so overwhelming,
so articulate but yet so amazing.
Sages were not wrong to say you are extraordinarily
'Gorgeous'.
I have been hurt, but you have eased my pain.
I have been burned, but you have soothed my anger.
You have given me hope when I've been scared.
You have made me feel safe when I have felt danger.
Where I tend to lack, you pick up the slack.
Where I come up short, you help to compensate.
You have softened my heart of stone and now,
Love resides where there once was hate.
My bitter has become sweetened
And my resentment has become affection.
When I felt the need to be perfect,
You came and loved each imperfection.
Clouds continuously darkened my days
But the sun in you broke through with rays
Of patience, kindness, and selfless ways
So now, the sky is clear, no more grays.
I smile more frequently because I'm so happy.
You have renewed my belief in love.
Thank you for being my better half
And being the man I've always dreamt of.
You are the reason my heart is beating
to this rhythm of joy
It's just a revelation, a inspiration
breathing into the night,
It's spiritual
Such a miracle
You'll remember this forever, without a doubt
Oh darling
Is this the only reason for my heart's beating?
Is this the passion that lasts, everlasting?
Is love the real magic beneath this feeling?
I'm ecstatic - elated - euphoric... energetic!
Is this real?
You are the feeling that is completing me
delighting me, inspiring me
If it looks like I'm crying, remember I'm trying
to give you the best of my heart,
the joy, the passion, the music and dance
breathing to the the joy, the feeling, the thunder
this romance is beyond my own expressing
Oh darling
Is this the only reason for my heart's beating?
Is this the passion that lasts, everlasting?
Is love the real magic beneath this feeling?
I'm ecstatic - elated - euphoric... energetic!
Is this real?
I've been learning - I'm burning
for the wonder of your kiss, the embrace
that still feels like it can erase every fear,
the wonder of a feeling that lingers in my spirit
Oh honey
Is this the only reason for my heart's beating?
Is this the passion that lasts, everlasting?
Is love the real magic beneath this feeling?
I'm ecstatic - elated - euphoric... energetic!
Is this real?
Is it real? It's just feeling so real
Is this the only reason for my heart's beating?
Is this the passion that lasts, everlasting?
Is love the real magic beneath this feeling?
I'm ecstatic - elated - euphoric... energetic!
Is this real?
This is the real thing, the miracle, the chance
to make those memories, so beautiful, like a dance
with forever, forever, always your embrace - finally
there is a way to say - You're my heart's greatest grace
You're the feeling that will last - You're my better half

She is
Lightning and thunder
But yet loving and so kind
She’s gentle
She’s the strongest person I know
Gives of herself to many
My love
She’s my life
She loves me always
I, too, love her in all ways
She holds my heart for eternity
Allowing love that flows on
Into the dark nights
She’s my wife
my other half- infact a better half
my other half, a better half,
both poles apart as habits do,
I a poor eater, he the great,
a firm believe in the words of the wise,
breakfast like a king,
lunch like a prince,
and dinner like a pauper.
and me believes in just one thing
eat to survive
still the day am unwell, he adjust to a mere oat bowl.
well isn't this love,want to tell
the list goes,so on and so forth.
