Doubt

Doubt

A Poem by Jeff

Am I as perfect

As you think I am


Will you always think of me

Like you do today


You say I'm too good to you

I wonder can I keep it up


I write these words for you

Will I always find the words


I pray that I do

For no one before you

Have made me this happy


Will I forever be

The man you've been dreaming of


Will I always hold your heart

Like I do today


When you awake

Will I always be your first thought


Today I'm your world

Tomorrow will I still be in your orbit


It's not that I doubt you

I doubt myself

And my ability

To keep this wonderful woman

That sums up how I sometimes feel about my wife even after 23 years of marriage. That last stanza is the one that reall hit home. I think it is healthy for a man to feel that way from time to time. It keeps us chasing our princess and it keeps us from becoming too complacent so we continue to work at our relationship. Most of my relational problems with my wife stem from complacency. excellent write.

The humility of this poem makes it ever so endearing....simple words spinning into gems as they hit the soul with their lotus-petaled reflections ..it is an honour to read this..to know that such sentiments still exist in this chaotic world...

Love is what love wants... where there is love, there is bliss.. once the love has faded, so will the star that shines so brightly in her eyes!! Go doubtless, and enjoy the loves she sprinkles on you, selflessly...

. you're a magical guy, jeff, and she who deserves these magical words has to be the ultimate woman ... this is just so incredibly lovingly written ... your earnestness and your sincerity sparkles in every word and every line ... and as long as you are who you are ... you won't ever run out of beautiful poetry ... and she who is truly wonderful ... will always be wonderful and know that you are a wonderful person ...

I know this feeling..sometimes we are simply scared of not keeping up to the perfect light in which our loved one perceives us.No one is perfect..to see each other in a real light and accept one another as just that and not as someone as celestial is true love and am sure your woman too loves you more for your flaws than for the illusory perfections.
Honest poetry my friend.

Yes. The doubts that plague every man in love when he tries to sleep at night. Good honest poetry. I felt it!

Cheers!
