Love Never After
In the beginning he couldn’t get
enough of her.
He thought about her every
minute of every hour
of every day.
He couldn’t bear to be
away from her.
He felt like he couldn’t
ever live without her.
After they finally got married
and a few years passed,
and he got used to her
and she got used to him –
he argued all the time with her
and he liked it when she
was away from him,
and all the first love feelings
faded away forever.
Pity romantic love sometimes
ends like this.

Quomodo cogis comas tuas sic videri?
79, cancer survivor, work out 3 times a week, ride my exercise bike 2 hours daily. Began writing poetry October 2023, living in Greensboro, North Carolina, originally from just outside of Boston, MA.
Retired and enjoying a solo, reclusive life always researching and gaining knowledge. Most of my poems are fictional.
I write about many things: Spirituality, Mysticism, the Paranormal, Cryptids, Werewolves, Ghosts, 411s, Nature, Birds, Animals, Romantic Love, Death, NDEs, Women Persecuted as Witches, Fictional Characters I Create, News Stories, AI, Robots, Insects, like the poem entitled, Hail Caesar Bob, (about when bees were swarming me outside the door to my apartment), and many other topics. I write a minimum of 3 poems daily, sometimes more.
