She said, and smiled,
I envy your wife.
I grinned ruefully.
She had a picture
In her head
That I was Cyrano
Rhapsodizing Deb
Improvising
Beautiful images
Hallmark would admire
She thought we’d spend nights
Sipping champagne
By the fire
And I’d be reading
Her my poetry
And she’d fall
In love with me
Over and over again
And I guess
We’d get up
In the morning
On Valentines
And make snow angels
In the yard
It’s not a bad fantasy
But compared to our lives
It’s madness
And Deb would roll her eyes
She knows she’s my Muse
And she’s in every line
But I don’t serenade her
With sonnets
Or speak in couplet rhyme
But I do write her poems
Every day of our lives.
I started thinking this must be a true description of your live - and then you just gave me goosebumps with the last line - beautiful. As always I love your work. There is an afrikaans poem that comes down to I write a poem for you without fancy words and punctuations and so in - you make me think of that - just straight forward and beautiful - no fancy words or trying to write in such a way nobody can understand

I'd have to side with Deb on this one! lol I can't handle too much romantic poetry, but with just a touch of realism you can touch the heart
thanks, Laura - I appreciate that truth
