These are my musings and observations on my daily life, loves and the laughter that are all a part of my experience of living now in the shires of England.

The other woman - Poetry by Marjorie H Morgan


The other woman

The other woman
was so loved
she had a special place
away from those boring friends
away from those public places
away from those ordinary events

The other woman
was so loved
she had a special time
much later
later than was promised
later than was convenient
later than was kind

The other woman
was so unloved
while waiting again
she took a special look
over
all that was missing
all that was ordinary
all that was promised

The other woman
so loved herself
that she found a special place
in the open
with ordinary events that were convenient
with kind friends in public places
with missing promises that ended waiting


(1996)
