Sole Mate

for my Husband

Made for each other

Like the pea and the pod,

Like trees and a forest

Or the fly and the frog.

Like tires and cars,

Like stones in a river,

The moon and the stars

Are made for each other.

Like left goes with right,

And fly goes with kite,

As wood takes to flame,

We are the same.

The yin and the yang,

Cinnamon and tang,

Like fresh sheets on a bed,

Like pillow and head.

Made for each other

Like words in a rhyme,

Or a great recipe

With basil and thyme,

Like feet go with shoes,

We are a pair.

Wherever I go

You’re sure to be there.

Like a drum with a beat

Like singer and song

You para- to my keet

And I ping to your pong.

You’re the laugh to my cry

I’m the pace to your gait,

When I’m not there

I’ve noticed you wait.

You’re the push to my buttons,

The author I’ve read.

How did you get

So deep in my head?

Like a cold with a sneeze,

Like the birds and the bees

If I am the car,

You are the keys.

If I am the food,

You are the plate

But please don't get mad

If supper is late.

You’re the think of my thought

I’m the prisoner you’ve caught

And when we must part

You’re the beat of my heart.
