Why Can't I Find You

by Michael Charles Messineo — Read all 96 poems by Michael Charles Messineo

Relationships... Sometimes being close has barriers of communication. Talk to me.

Monday, May 30, 2011

 

Why can't I find you, you have disappeared.

I need the contact now, help me make this clear.

I miss the comic banter, the tender tears of joy,

sharing of the secrets, and those we both annoy.

 

Why can't I find you, when you are always there.

It's such a simple task, to focus on the share.

I miss the conversation, discussions of our lives,

we are lost in reasons, like unsharpened knives.

 

Why can't I find you, you need to set the pace,

open up the memories, refresh our tender race.

Find the time to smile, set aside the time,

reset the conversation, and get us back in rhyme.

I have found this to be the case in marriage. It seems we get so busy with the house, bills, house and yard work.........We lose the playful spirit we had before we were married and our existence together is just that - existence! Thank you for your mind opening poem.
