An Affair of the Heart

My love for you knows no bounds An exquisite affair of the heart Passionately addicted to the nth degree Knew it right from the start The signs were there for everyone to see Google-eyed and mumbling away Forgetting important meetings and such Or the silly stuff I wound say Us humans don't have it down pat, yet We still have a way yet to go To call us perfect is a bit premature But the progress we're making shows At times people actually make some sense Of some of the things I say But bidding someone a fond farewell Is not how to start each day It seems I've been bitten and bitten real good By this bug that's known as love Haven't slept soundly for many a night Dreaming of my sweet turtledove © Jack Ellison 2014

Eternally young my friend you are/ and young you would for ever remain/ for how could ever a heart like yours/ from old age not to abstain? Excellent writing my young fellow, a bright future is waiting for you! LOL your countryman Demetrios.

Hey Countryman Demetrios! Thank you, my friend, for these wonderful comments you send me! You are fortunate that you're not still living here to experience the coldest, snowiest, ugliest winter in decades! YUK!!! Have a real great day, my friend! Jack

Watch out with these writes as Cathie will chase you thru the house! Which is better than Dragon doing it, of course! He wants his second breakfast. A little pushy you know, and hard on my snickers, too! Grandpa Troll took the day off, but left his breakfast in the freezer. Darn! Dragon eats so much that the microwave just fizzled! So he got it given carte blanch, as He can heat his own up! But he makes it over done, then wants it only perfect! Sigh! I'll be at the stove til tomorrow morning!
