Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

A Picture In Words

A picture in words for my dear sweet Cathie
The lady who has captured my soul
Searched a whole lifetime for this dream of mine
Now our love story can finally be told

I've known sweet Cathie almost forever
But events control the path that we travel
Till the time was right, our love lay in waiting
This affair that sizzles and bedazzles

When I look in her eyes, I see shooting stars
An awesome display of sheer wonder
The love that shines through is beyond all words
It's the reason for this spell that I'm under

Words don't come easy to describe her beauty
I stumble and search for the phrase
That describes this enchantress, this vision before me
In the glow of the moon's purple haze

A picture in words for my dearest sweet Cathie
This sweetie has made my life whole
True love comes along only once in a lifetime
Cathie's stolen my heart and my soul
