If he loved her,
….she thinks
he would greet her every day
with a heart heating hug
with a spine kindling kiss
with glowing eyes.
If he loved her,
….she thinks
he would bid her sleeping form farewell
with grieving eyes
with cuddling kiss
with a heart felt hug
longing to remain.
If he loved her,
….she thinks
he would harness his white horse
unsheath his sword,
charge down her demons,
She doesn’t see,
that he is her champion,
if he sees who she is
and stays to fight for her
when she’s not looking.
She doesn’t see,
that he loves her.

Most of the time, we superimpose love on someone. We indulge ourselves in the illusion that love is a fairy-tale & we end up making the one we love into a character out of fantasy novel. We end up expecting absurd & impossible ACTS OF LOVE from them & if they don’t follow through we get hurt & we get mad. We forget that they are simply humans & they are NOT PERFECT. Wonderful creation, simple yet meaningful especially the last part:
“She doesn’t see,
that he is her champion,
if he sees who she is
and stays to fight for her
when she’s not looking.
She doesn’t see,
that he loves her.”
Bravo! Keep safe & stay awesome! 🙂

Lovely piece. I particularly like kregianmiral’s comment. I agree.
Thanks. I agree.

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Love the wordplay here!
Thanks
I hope you’re not talking about your husband.
Do you see this as a negative poem?
To me, the man is the hero in this poem. The woman is deluded, and he’s just there, seeing what’s real and being great.
Like a dipstick I only read the first 5 lines. It’s just too early in the morning.
After re-reading the whole poem I can understand now that the man is the hero and the women doesn’t know the good thing she has going.
😉 Look how hard I make you work, Tim. lol
Excellent. I love the ending especially.
Thanks.
“She doesn’t see,
that he loves her.”
Is she thinking too much that she doesn’t notice?
Perhaps she is just completed self-absorbed or perhaps she doesn’t understand what she sees because of romantic pre-conceptions. I think frequently people have a weird perspective on what love looks like, and don’t recognize real love in action.
This poem reminds me that women (me included) expect men to automatically understand what we need and want without having to say anything. Only happens in fairy tales and romantic novels. Otherwise, men have no clue until they are told/shown/hit on the head. Communication is key in relationships. And yes, he does love her…
BTW, thanks for stopping by my blog tonight.
