let us talk
So, let us talk
Of love and other things
Of marriage
Of children
Of plans hatched and cracked
Sweet dreams unfulfilled
Put on the shelf
For that one day that never comes
To be displayed and revered
Of the spit and the spat
Of troubled drizzled rain
On creased and furrowed brow and cheek
Of looking up at the moon in full
At wanting to reach up and grab its cheesy grin
Let us talk of these and other things
Of the sweat and the pain
Of laboured love lost and found
Of the walks, we both struggled with
Where we marched, and strolled
Across common ground
Of looking smiling
Holding hands
Of kissing
Remaining in the moment
Of years passed and forward
Let us talk of the now
Let us talk

Thanks David, Ray, elp and Colin. This is as you rightly say is the prelude to something David. It was something I wrote for my wife of whom I rarely read my poetry to these days as it can be overload. But she said to me that I ought to post it, so here it is. So you are also right elp about things left unsaid, it can be difficult to break through.
Glad you like the cheesy grin Ray and Colin. You are right Ray it does lighten it a bit What are the chances of us both writing the same thing again Col spooky!
I realise that sometimes I can get a bit intense with what I write so your comments are much appreciated.
cheers
Martin
