A Husband
He takes out the trash, or makes dinner
thinks he's cleaned the whole house
he's not capable of being quiet as a mouse
full of self-praise
himself, he amaze
selective hearing and speech
sometimes hard to reach
never practices what he preach
loveable and incorrigible
he's not interchangable

that sums up me...significant other would agree....
we grow like vine trees wound about the soul
of the other
filling in the shadow
where our warmth and light
can be
and yet we canter hauling burdens
catching an eye or a look
aware of what misery has took
I wear your poem
on my heart
