Heathcliff Kind of Love
Give me Heathcliff kind of love
That haunted Wuthering Heights
Obsessive, demented love
That spoke to her ghost at nights
The love that tore at her grave
To hold her close one more time
The love that lit up his face
Made noble his every crime
Give me Rochester love
Plotting to possess Jane Eyre
That though she was no beauty
He considered dazzling fair
Give to me his scheming love
That gladly would break each rule
That drew from her jealous tear
To prove love though it be cruel
Give Colonel Brandon love
Who fought to win her heart
Though broken by another
Kindness glued back every part
When sick at the brink of death
He was there to nurse her back
Devotion and loyalty
Nothing in him was alack
Give to me this kind of love
That pursues to edge of grave
Maddened and demanding love
That will give it’s all to save
This kind of endearing love
Is what I long for from you
Be it offered now to me
My love you’ll have ever true

The characters referred to in this poem are taken from three of my favorite classics...Jane Eyre...Wuthering Heights and Sense and Sensibility. I should have mentioned the truthfulness and constancy of Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice....Next time....
