At lunch, or any mealtime
when we get a chance, to dine out
and our little troublemaker, perfectly time’s
her untimely tantrum, for maximum disruption
I simply concentrate, on assembling
my next glutinous bite
knowing, you’ll be there to distract her
till she reverts - back, to her angelic self
then later-on, I watch - on
as you hungrily, breathlessly - scoff down
your now, frozen
starter-and-main, impromptu combo
seldom, have you ever had time
to savour desserts
that aren’t, mere deflated puddles
by the time, you reach them;
or, after a full day’s work
when you scrape together, energy – enough
to take your two ladies ‘out on the town’
I - chill back and recuperate, while you play
with our Madhatter with unfathomable zeal
then later, we whisper about each other’s day
while you drive us home
without disturbing a pebble
and as soon as we walk-in, turning around
to ask: if I’m - too tired
to give our sleepy terrier
her nightly bath?!
And, your rewards?
Two, grateful pairs of adoring eyes
from
the infatuated ladies: in your life…

Once again L.B. you show the romantic inside and the sensitivity to see the little things that make a relationship. Very nice and very soothing.
(we were born to a Time, that assumes
Unicorns are more real
than a decent gentleman, with empathetic
intellect..
so I thought I should plant some seeds of hope
even as mere fantasy
someday, in the future
decent men may outnumber, those unicorns
lol)
glad you found it soothing, dear insightful Poet
mellow, was what I was aiming for
that simple life
where shared burdens, bridge a path
to mutually reciprocated, kindness
and thoughtfulness
This is good work Mr. LB
glad you like it, dear poet
to put it bluntly, but also, be precise, I simply can not articulate anywhere near what I want to express about the sheer sense of wonder and delight these words of yours did manage to engender within me .. and having now just about recovered from the warm gush you bestowed on me earlier today .. I can say all that whilst walking in a straight narrow line and with my serious hat on .. better than a nice one sir .. Neville 👍
lol
I do get lucky from time to time
don't I my most cherished, Hyung
thank you! for never failing to affirm
and encourage my poetic dreams
for a wannabe poet, its a priceless gift
as-ever you humble me, my friend
love this!!
so glad you enjoyed the read
thank you! dear poet
