i chitter...i chatter... words...ideas come from my mouth
changes i want to make...things i want to do together
he sits...a befuddled look upon his face then says... yes dear
our usual response now to keeping peace...yes dear
his time approaches when he thinks i need a change in my life
this should go here...that should go there...where can i put mine
i sit here with a pained expression on my face...yes dear
our usual response now to keeping peace...yes dear
we spend time talking about our coming adventures
he wants to go there...i want to go here...where do we go
he suddenly looks at me...i suddenly look at him...yes dear
our usual response now to keeping peace...yes dear
there is an adjustment to our lives...we both agree
our personalities...our patterns developed...styles adopted
we think about this...but when voiced...all we can say is...yes dear
our usual response now to keeping peace...yes dear

ABOUT THE POET ~
i write out of love for words....the style i use is free verse, where i can create who i am..., i began writing while i cared for my mother, who had alzheimers, as a form of therapy for me....when she died, the poetry stayed with me....now i write about everything....life...love....betrayals....philosophy...nature...fantasy and some dark poetry....where ever my fancy seems to be at the time....i use my personal knowledge and experiences with a lot of them, i am a very private person who enjoys my animals, my grandchildren, my children, when they let me, and the love of my life., several of my poems have appeared in the Taj Mahal Review and some anthologies....i have written three books of poetry, my first was my therapy book, all the poems i had written while caring for my mother called "When There Are Dragons There is Alzheimers". my second book "Through the Maze of Life" was the start of my growth, my third and most recent book is called "Thoughtful Whispers" poems of a growing poet.....my website is www.pegesus.weebly.com
