My Wife

Oh dear friend! Last night we made love;

Me and my wife, sweating and rolling.

We kissed the moon; and she murmured,

Something close to her heart, in my ears.

Oh dear friend! Today I bought her chocolates.

She smiled at me and took one; just one.

Her hands were shivering; she gazed at it,

And turned around, and then walked away.

Oh dear friend! Last year she was conceived.

My office phone left an emergency.

I rushed to the hospital, the operation theatre;

Doctor called a name, to say congrats.

Oh dear friend! Every time I lie to my son,

Mummy doesn’t love chocolates.

I said, then, doctor ‘she calls me like this’,

The name she murmured hazily, Yours!

Oh dear friend! I still Love her.

Oh dear friend! I still live for her.
