Though We're Now Apart
It rained, stopped, and rained again....here.
And all that time you were not very near....
to me, but for your presence in my 'heart',
which keeps me with you though we're apart.
This must be, for you, a vacation without my mouth,
while you are up 'North' and I'm here, down 'South'.
And sure it's a vacation for me, your husband, as well,
as for a day or so you will not, face-to-face, at me yell.
But, though I guess I'd survive without you in my life,
....despite our differences, I'd sure miss you as my wife.
We both are stubborn and don't hold back some words,
words which you'd not hear from a pair of 'lovebirds'.
Ok, we are NOT birds, but alas humans, sad but true,
and my 'heart' says 'I love you' and feels you love me too.

Truth is, at times, bitter; so also is love. Talking poem
Things happen in marriage, but you've got to keep it up. Nice poem
Real life meets love poetry...This works, Bri. This works brilliantly....

This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
A great poem with touching expression.The last line expresses profoundly how you love your wife and how you miss her even in a few days of separation.
Well, Bharati, thanks for comment, ...BUT I don't 'exactly' 'miss her'. I know she is 'missing' and assume she'll be back someday and contact me at least once while gone. (cont.)
It is a good break for us I think. I pile dirty dishes in sink, pile dirty clothes in a corner, eat my ice cream and cake...and nothing else! (cont.)
BUT I still walk about 100 yards down to mailbox and up the same inclined driveway to return. I just came back and forget what else I planned to say. (cont.)
