some men have women
and have them again
their love is unyielding
but then so is their hand
they never learned that love is a choice
not bought and paid for and sealed in gold and 'ice'
so she bears his children and his weight at night
and he jokes with friends ´bout the old ball and chain
reads the paper at dinner then turns on the game
***
some men have women...
so to speak
to have and hold loosely
and talk alot
and she talks too and feels she's strong
and somewhere between moments incidental
shared in laughter and in tears
almost in passing
love is born
strong even in its timidity
the way that I
love you
so she bears his children and his weight at night....this is a nice little line.
