Relationship Poem

Light-hearted Look At Communication And Love

I am a retired professional who writes poetry as a hobby. I write mostly rhyming poems, but am experimenting with free verse. I live in an apartment down the hall from a beautiful woman who loves nature and fights for animals. She says that my poetry inspires her to be a better person. This poem is a light-hearted look at communication in relationships..

Lovestruck

Published by Family Friend Poems January 9, 2024 with permission of the Author.

She thinks I pay no attention to her.
She assumes my mind is gone when she speaks.
As if she talks to a wall, as it were;
her words all flow to a bucket that leaks.

It's in one deaf ear and out the other -
a long exercise in futility.
So, she moves from one thought to another,
while my thoughts are out on some sort of spree.

She raises her voice, as if I can't hear.
She wants me to focus on what she says.
She believes she's making things very clear,
while my brain is off to Spain or Juarez!

But every syllable claps like thunder,
and her love has cast the spell I'm under.
