Reflections after fifty years of marriage

On that fateful Spring night

the music was so loud

that I could not quite hear

your whispers in my ear.

I nodded with my head

Feigning to be polite;

Little did I know that

I had signed up for life!

Fifty years together

were not an easy ride;

we have had our fair share

of taking life in stride.

I think it’s only fair

That I should now confide;

I wish I’d heard you better

On that fateful Spring night!

Strong poem, very true

Very powerful and moving. This one must have been tough to write. It took me 20 years to write about my first wife who died of breat cancer. Please feel free to view my website. GOD bless you! John Michael

Just for clrification. I was not married for 50 years. I just put myself into the skin of those who have been and somehow survived. This poem is imaginary but the core of it is real. The question was popped during a dance when the music was loud. I somehow wiggled out of it. I'm not sorry. As writers we do get into the soul of other characters. I guess our imagination works overtime.
