Spouse-41 Poem by Dr Dillip K Swain

If there is difference
of opinions between
me and my wife,
my wife stops
talking with me
for hours together.

I go to office
in disturbed state of mind.

I return from office
and act a bit.

I sit on a chair
in sorrowful mood
as if I have been
attacked by someone

When my wife
approaches me
I ask her
to fetch a glass of water
and pretend to have
got work pressure.

She consoles me
to take things easily
and offers me snacks
and starts talking with me.
