Words & Marriage
Word Paralysis: Stunted Growth
Couples do it all the time:
Talk in phrases long cliched by platitude,
Of staled attitude.
They don’t communicate
(except perhaps when fornicating).
Don’t learn,
The phrases all the same,
Repeated at each meal, each film.
They’re missing out
On IQ raising inspiration,
Real communication
Worn or lost in years or habit:
Customary words inadequate.
They learn to neither listen
Nor to pay attention,
Stopping up their listening ears
Through years of word paralysis.
Sometimes deafness very real
Strikes one to the other mate.
There goes the skill of conversation,
Life’s love communication.
What to do?
What the solution?
Partnership and marriage
As a dance for two
Goes falling through.
Through simple lack of word renewal.
Who wants boredom,
Wants to snore when loved one speaks?
Love goes sneaking out the door
When words no longer stir or spur.
