My intimate stranger

Why are we so far away from each others thoughts?
And we are not so thoughtful to each others needs
And we live under the same roof on the same bed
But our minds are miles apart at dead end
Withdrawn to each others shell

Why are we...

From his voice springs the tenderest sound of lute
There is not a moment
mute
In the company of my little cherubim
Oh how I love him, how I love him!
 
Dissonance played in my core.
Before his birth

Forgotten Wife -

WHY?
I’ve asked the question, 
A thousand times or more,
What more could I have done?
As I really didn’t understand

Fresh-faced,
Gentle, caring,
Considerate loving husband,
Before going off 
To that stinken...

silence is a blanket
on human telepathy and intent.

Silent treatment can be an
autumn breeze,
granting space
cooling tempers.

III
Sulkiness can be likened to
green gall, blatant brooding

Upon  her  face  hangs  a  pout,
Which  under  her  philtrum  she  wears  so  pink.
Not that  she  wills  to  show  sulkiness,
But to  send  a  flirtatious  invitation,
And...

In a realm where reason goes astray,
Where nonexistent boundaries sway,
Lines avoided, boundaries blurred,
Mirrors reflect a world absurd.

A soul that has sight beyond a wise mood. 
The sultry shade that mirrors exude
A temper indicative of obstinate pride,
Sniffy and haughty, it cannot hide.

Instead, transfer your...
