A better half when turned bitter
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.

Better half
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

To My Best Friend My Better Half
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

My Better Half
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.

You'Re My Better Half
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 -

Dear Better Half
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

The Better Half
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

Let the Word Be a Better-Half of Life
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

My Better Half
Author Dana Redricks
April 9, 2018
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

You'Re My Better Half
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.

The 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

My Better Half
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
