An Angel My Husband

I think I married an angel
and I think I’m losing him

the whole world is tumbling down and I rush to him for help.
All I get is a smile; as if we won’t be touched

I do not know where he keeps his white linen,
I haven’t found a scratch mark on his body;
Perhaps where the wings used to be

He’s got the eyeballs of any man
But one you couldn’t look deep into for long
Because he’ll break into a smile
And I would too

Sometimes he stands by our window for hours
Simply looking at the world around us
At some point, he’ll smile;
Some point he wouldn’t.
But throughout these times, he never says a word

He speaks with such grace
And versed in all manner of learning
Whenever he plays his guitar;
oh! heaven

he loves to listen to country music
The one’s that’ll talk about love,
Family, parenthood, childhood and the likes

He’s never fast paced
Often forgets things easily
Holds no worries about anything

Everyone should be respected
Everything should be taken lightly
I could never make him angry



I wish heaven would do an head count
And hope I could have the result
Because I know someone would be missing
And I think it’s my husband.

He speaks so soft
Most times hardly heard
I might have to strain my ears many a times to hear him
But with the simplicity with which day turns to night
And night to day
He speaks

And to me
He’s the greatest gift;
The greatest I could ever have wished for,
Though he never looked it when we met

But hour by hour
Day by day
His transformation is fast paced
He’s becoming more perfect a gift
Tending towards heaven


And yes, this is my single fear(heaven)
I fear he’s going back
I think he’s leaving me
