For long who’d been my better half
Has now become my bitter half--
Bitter, my autumns sing
Of fantasies of spring…
To bull has blown a benign calf
Who feels (or feigns) she’s tired
Ever since I retired,
To smirk has turned a vibrant laugh.

Note: She has, I would like to feel, nothing against my poetic journey as such, but that my poems fetch not a penny.
She’s a cat and I’m a mouse;
In my hair, she’s a louse!
She’s the boss of the house;
By mistake, she’s my spouse!
Her nature, then, I was unaware;
Her torture, now, I no longer bear!
My relation, with her is beyond repair;
I say all this, when I’m in utter despair!
Isn’t it common in every domicile?
Towards me, she’s never hostile!
Irresistible is her pleasant smile;
Minus her, I live not for a while!
She does this all to set me right;
Her one hug makes me fly like a kite!
To my sweetheart, my heart’s delight,
My morning sun, my calmest night,
My dearest friend, my sacred part,
The one who holds my soul and heart.
I vow to love you, fiercely true,
In all I say, in all I do.
Through quiet days and storms that roar,
My love for you will only soar.
I promise laughter in our tears,
A hand to hold through all the years.
In every season life may send,
You are my beginning, my end.
I’ll stand beside you, come what may,
Through shifting skies and silver gray.
Your dreams are now forever mine,
Your fears, your hopes, your every sign.
I'll be your strength when you feel small,
Your constant when the shadows fall.
In every breath, in every fight,
I'll choose your love, I'll choose the light.
So here I vow, with heart so wide,
No force on Earth can make me hide.
To cherish, honor, guard, and grow,
With every year, I'll let you know—
That loving you is life’s great art.
You are my soul, my beating heart.
And till the stars fall from the skies...
I'll love you, my sweetheart, all my life.
Woman, you came from my rib
Not out of my leg to be humiliated
Not out of my head to excel
From the side to side with me
Out of hand to be protected
But from the side of my heart
To be purely loved and adored.
White, blue and red
With you in life I wed
Babushka you may not like
Moya supraga I will surely like.

My heart, my love, truly my better half.You are my kind of perfect.
Without you Without you
Without you Without you
It’s hard for me to live, man
It’s hard for me to kill, man
I can’t sleep anymore
There is no peace now
Desperate is the shadow now
I swear to you every hour
In dreams at night
I saw you Family Husband
My spouse is my shield, my spouse is my strength.
Laughter made me cry
I lost my Greed and lust
I lost my memory
I didn’t sleep all night
Loneliness bites
I have no one here
For my peace of mind,heart and soul
True love is when both people think they have the better half of the deal.
This time also stopped
Garden became barren
With you my better half
Without you Without you
Without you Without you
You are my best friend, my human diary, and my better half. You mean the world to me and I love you.You’re mine and only mine, all rights reserved.

The reason I will never stop loving you
Is not in existence
And will never be in existence
When I said I am crazy about you
I didn't mean if figuratively
I meant it realistically
Your smile drives me crazy
Your eyeballs drive me crazy
Your intellectual sagacity drives me crazy
Your tenacity and perseverance drive me crazy
The fact that you are still here with me despite my flaws drive me crazy
Ajike, your being drives me crazy
When I said I am mad over you
Like, I mean, I am fantastically mad over you
Why?
Baby, you make me happy
You make me feel loved
You make me lively
You make me feel desired
Indeed you are my better half
Because you absolutely complete me
Of what was lost, I shall not speak
A beautiful past I shall not seek
For I have grown, like you had asked
Followed through with every task
I shall not heed to a memory’s call
I shall not feel, lest I slip and fall
For I have forgotten as you had asked
And followed through with every task
I shall not question who I’ve become
I shall surrender and not try to run
For I have changed as you had asked
And followed through with every task
Now I am strong, as you describe
And I am happy, you claim with pride
Now I am perfect for you to own
I am one of you, I’m not alone
Now I shall not try to look inside
I shall not yearn, nor laugh nor cry
For I have died as you had asked
And followed through with every task
let the word come to my den
let the word live together and belongs to me
let the word be closed to heart
let the word be a better-half of life
let the word embrace me whole
o let the word love even I'm fool
let the word kiss the inner soul
let the word day and night
let the word power of
a poet and poetic environment with a pen and paper

Thinking of you as time goes by
it's amazing how we met
The first time I met you
I knew you were the one
Even on those rainy days
Silver linings seem to
sparkle to us light
to brighten up the day
You seem to bring out the
best in me
Like a tree is rooted deep
My love for you is rooted
in being with you
You are my better half
She wonders why she told him anything
Shared what isn’t easy to do
Now, nothing is but a flailing swing
Back and forth with lack of what is true
I wonder why she tried so much
Now, seems like wasted time gone by
Even when to walk needing a crutch,
Relied on a cane instead to get around
As far as energy, there wasn’t much
Still she thought something good was found
I wonder why balance suddenly wanes
Not just with walking, but otherwise
Things are turbulent on a racing train
With little tolerance for even small lies
Life will always bring lessons to be
Learned even when tiring to go through
But one must walk and one must see
The better half of everything too

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

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

Her poetic voice helped inspire this work of art
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!
