Poem
The Luckiest of Men By Rick Rucker I called on friends yesterday, They asked if I was okay. They had never seen me move so slow, They thought my energy was low. I assured them I was fine, I had merely drunk the wine Of Love, my countenance was pacific, I have no known disease specific, Save an enlarged Heart, Filled with sweetness, as from a tart. They thought my symptoms somewhat scary, They began to realize that I was very Much in Love, no longer had to push, and shove. My Heart was peaceful as a Dove. I used to be so tightly wound, My feet seldom hit the ground. I ran everywhere I traveled, My mind seemed to have unraveled. Suddenly, I can stand, With another, hand in hand. She has caused the change in me, She let my tethered Heart fly free! How could this have come to pass, That she could save me from the Morass? With a little that, and some this, But mostly with a passionate kiss. It was our second date, We had eaten, it was late, At my watch, I took a peek, Leaned in then to kiss her cheek, Then, much to my surprise, She looked me in the eyes, And kissed me with a buss so sweet, That I could scarcely feel my feet! I didn’t want her to leave, My chest had begun to heave, The night was cold, but we were not, I couldn’t believe that one so hot Would show, to me, such passion, In the open, out of fashion! Finally, she drove away, But, I was forced to stay, Firmly rooted to the ground, My head still spinning all around. I had been on first and second dates, Sorting through potential mates, First, the normal couple’s sparring, Then, no more dates, and some scarring. She was the only one, To have done what she had done! She had left, and I let her, But I wanted to practice kissing, getting better. As her lights faded away, I knew I couldn’t wait a day To have another chance To see if we would find Romance! Now, we have been out many times, When we kiss, I hear chimes, Our dating is now exclusive, The locations, more reclusive. I have asked her to be my Wife, Share my place, share my life. She is much smarter than me, She answered that we will wait and see. I will try to let her see, How wonderful our life could be. As I run it all through my head again, I am sure the luckiest of men!
