Husband
23 April 2023
He walks in the room, hello those there.
No disturbance, relaxed happy mode.
Clean cut, nice suit, cut his hair.
Shoes polished, pressed pants turning old.
Offered a drink, was driving, soda please.
Music started play, friends to dance.
Looked for spouse to love and tease.
Soon gave him that comfort glance.
Kids had grown, reputation sown.
Holidays soon to come, time to roam.
People wished them well, stay healthy, safe.
Clear he knew his place, showed in his face.
End of night near, time to leave.
Door opened, walked in his neighbour.
Felt the ladies look, reach for that sleeve.
Somehow eyes always got their favor.
Was a man who carried a glow.
Considered by others icon of lust.
Conquests all seemed to kow.
Made him not one of us.
Husband wondered about his role.
Trying to keep wise and whole.
Another day wished could seem,
Like that crazy time, last night’s dream.
Years ago had those offers.
Marriage kept him coffered.
Husband true as any known.
Always found love at home.
