Poetry
He is
By meadowcroft1964

Sorry this isn,,t a great master piece just my feeling towards my husband
It may be a bit soppy and so you may want to have a sick bag handy






He doesnt cascade me with pretty words 
Nor bombard me with flowers 
He's always been by my side 
During my darkest hours
He's grumpy and growls 
He'd remind you of Victor Meldrew
He's honest and he's true
Loves me through
He'd wouldn't admit to it 
He's taken all my hostility 
shown vulnerability
He makes happiness 
my reality 
Hope It his too
He tries to take my pain away
Loving words just ain't his way
When he holds me tight 
During my darkest nights
I'd worship at his feet 
Words just can't compete
Love just won't be beat

Wow. This is deeply moving. What a tribute from a wife to a husband. A woman who can write like this about her husband is truly fortunate. I love the way it starts, "He doesnt cascade me with pretty words / Nor bombard me with flowers" and the lines towards the end "Loving words just ain't his way / When he holds me tight / During my darkest nights" I love the picture you paint with the verbs. What a husband!

Thanks Mia 
 
You must be as soft as I am. When we have our next row I probrobly write something quite different  
but that's how relationship's go. The funny thing is he only allows me to see that side of him ,so no one else get to know the true person he is. MENS PRIDE TO THE DEVIL THEY'LL RIDE. I really must stop this rhyming.

I'm with Mia - Wow! 
 
There is such depth of feeling in this. 
 
I had to go and teach a class of students shortly after reading this for the first time, and I could barely hold it together. 
 
That's supposed to be a compliment! 
 
Cheers! 
 
John
