His Wife

by Maple Tree   Sep 19, 2012


Cold and dreary feels like yesterday,
falling snowflakes, a lonely New York, a few friends I could trust, barren on the inside, truly given up on love.

Tired - yearning to forget failed lovers,
empty, hollow, lost; flirting, empty conversations with strangers who were just as forgotten as I.

A letter from a sweet one, changed my life, eyes were sad, as were mine, but his smile sent me flying off into another dimension " I melted".

I truly connected in ways I never had known before, ever, I was guarded, as was he..

Months passed, letters floated in the night,
he whispered, "Would you like to go to dinner",
my mind failed to stop me, heart said yes-

One innocent date, exploded into months, I then became his wife, "he was-James, being James"- All he was and is, brings me to my knees.

Sensual, silly quirks he displays, and that
smile, radiates my inner soul, like no other man has done for me in my life time.

Our first year, granted us troubles, pain,
heartache, grueling separation, but my heart never stopped loving his soul, giving up within was never an option - For it truly made our love stronger.

It's the way he speaks my name, calls me "His Wife"
that makes me proud, confident in who we are, together, watching his dreaming eyes, exhales and inhales bring me pure enchanting joy.

His silence overwhelms our room, as if he's lost in another world, for the pain within him grows each day, with his diagnosis of Cancer, yet when he catches
my eye, he lets me know, that even in darkness, I am his light.

As I write this piece, I finally understand what true love is, because I married true love,

I'm proud and blessed to be his wife....

    Maple Tree, I think you have been holding this inside, trying to be strong for others and not letting yourself go through these emotions. It shows in here the relief of finally getting some of it out. I am glad of that.

    You truly expressed what a unique love you have found and the way love should be, wording here is just beautiful. I hope you continue to write more.

    This poem really touched me Maple, I know it must have been hard for you to post. Thank you for sharing a part of you with us.

    Andrea, there is no way in hell I can pick this poem/story a part. I am so so so proud of you for taking my advice and seriously letting yourself go and just digging deep about how your relationship makes you feel..

    I know for someone like you, who is just addicted and alive by nature, its hard to do that, you dont open yourself up as much as you should in your poetry, even though you say poetry is your comfort, which Im sure it is, you dont release the way most poets do. Which is like this, and you finally did that!!

    Im just so pleased at this write, and to be honest Andrea, I know why you dont write this way. Its because its a touchy subject, for understandable reasons. So to do this....the only thing I can keep saying is Im proud of yourself for taking you there..

    I know it felt good to write this. :O)

    Love it!!!
