your wife's pain (Free verse) by peaceseeker
doctor,
your wife is crying
alone
in the cold of your office
the dissonance
penetrating the brevity
of our embrace.
doctor,
your wife is on the phone
seeking solace
in the understanding
of a disapproving friend
- leave him!
my tearful joy
locks you as you leave.
doctor,
will you please hang up?
our energetic connection
is stifling me
i love you
like a warm summer day
that ends in a flash
then it's night.
doctor,
i know you love your wife
so stop using me
as a confusing excuse
to keep your sails down,
docked on land
use me to unravel the knot
and love her.
