I WAS READY, WITHOUT A DOUBT

 

I was ready, without a doubt

Ready for the one

I was set on the start line

Heart beating at the run

Then bang!

Went loves starting gun

SHE’S TICKING ALL THE BOXES

 

“She’s ticking all the boxes”

I thought to myself

When I first laid eyes on her

But of course she wasn’t perfect

That would have been a claim too far

Then when we spoke, at length

More boxes were checked

But again she fell short of the summit

But then who wants perfection

Which is in reality subjective

I have met girls in my life

Slightly more than ordinary

But thought themselves perfect 

And others nearly perfect

And thought themselves ordinary

This girl was as close to it

As I had ever come

Or wanted to come

For if she was to be flawless

That would be unnatural

As well as undesirable

For it’s in the imperfections

Where character lies

OH WIND OF LOVE

 

Oh wind of love,

Blow my way

Have influence over me

Like the moon does the tides

Bring music into the silence

And shine your light

Into every darkened corner

And fill my world with love

YOU BRING ME RAINBOWS

 

You bring me rainbows

Of an April morning

You bring me the laughter

Of a hundred happy children

You bring me the azure blue

Of a summer sky

You bring me the scented meadows

Of a summer day

You bring me the moonlight

Of a star bright night

You bring me the wonders

Of the modern age

But most of all you bring me

A love that I have never known

FINALLY I FOUND SOMEONE TO LOVE

 

Finally, I found someone to love

Someone caring and nice

Someone who loves me

But it was over in a trice

For I was complacent

And so paid the ultimate price

THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE

 

Sending signals

And reading

The replies

A look or gesture

That holds a message

To be relayed

Is as ancient

As hieroglyphs

And as difficult

To translate

THE WORDS FLOWED

 

The words flowed

like spring melt

Rushing to fill

Every stream of reason

Every rivulet of love

With bitter bile
