Love as I Know

A poet's words can be just as effective

oh Casanova,

I never met you…

but if words to paper

can bring joy much later

than a smooth talking master

much faster, effective,

swooning voice, in perspective,

I’d take a chance

Sure I’d stumble, maybe trip

a couple hundred commas and lines,

till the poem declines

into drivel. Sweet drivel.

My work may be dismissed,

I may never be kissed,

But the thought still remains.

Inner psyche they say,

is too deep to be spoken,

but the rules are just guidelines

that were made to be broken.

I can write on and on,

words so sweet, form a song

that when spoken, erupts,

in a fountain of buts,

maybes, ifs and perhaps,

when we hear thunderclaps,

the rain that forms the scene

between girl and boy will wipe clean

any mess that I splatter

upon my lovers platter,

meal for two, me and you,

love is love, true is true

until one stanza remains

Love, true love, is hard to explain

as of yet, never felt, only anger and pain

But out there, I know, not uncertain, but sure

Is the love of my life with a faultless allure

Thank you so much, it's really an honour to have someone react so positively to so many of my poems :)

I've been fortunate enough to be other side of this coin, so cool to be able to play it forward sincerely.....your work resonate and that's pretty cool if you knew..it takes much to impress, i'll be honest enough to say
