Love Is What Makes the World Go Round

To hold you again is all I can think of To feel your body touching mine To press your lips, to hear those words Love words so tender in rhyme Am I in heaven, have left this earth Touch me to prove you are real My mind's all askew since your return Is it really you that I feel Read about love in all those books Never appeared real until now Cravings are almost too difficult to bear To survive I'm wondering how Then sweet love falls softly into my lap The world is singing once more Love is what makes the world go round Known the whole world o'er To hold you again is all I can think of To feel your body touching mine Dedicated to all those rediscovering a long lost love © Jack Ellison 2013

Dragon thinks the love of him is what makes the world go around... He thinks every one should admire his eye candy and tickle his tummy... Quite a little King we have here... That's about as far as it gets with him... and the enjoyment of chasing people around... The simpler things in life for the young... Now I love romance novels but don't read them to Dragon... Your love poetry has Grandpa Troll reading them now too... He's looking for pointers on how to woo the ladies...

Until recently, was known as the P-Soup Jester, but recently have been writing about love! 78 years old and still feel like a teenager! LOL
