Jack Ellison Poet Couplet

Acting Like a Schoolboy

Love makes us men come apart at the seams
Act like school boys dreaming young dreams

Walking into walls, or in the side of a bus
Oblivious to the perils, our minds turn to mush

Don't get me wrong, it's the best feeling ever
May I never wake up, wish to live on forever

Sometimes our dreams can feel oh so real
I wake up each up morning the love I still feel

Like the greatest feeling, not felt e're before
O'er the fields of love, my own heart does soar

Your love means so much to this silly old duffer
Never take it away,  my poor heart would suffer

Let's pretend we're school kids and start all over
Watching the clouds as we lie in the clover!

Love makes us men come apart at the seams
Act like school boys dreaming young dreams

Poet Tacito September 16, 2013 at 8:33 AM In the garden of love, it takes 2 gardeners to make it grow & shine. The rest will come naturally. Very, very well stated here. :) Jack Ellison September 16, 2013 at 8:38 AM Hey Mr. Drake... thank you once again for your very kind words! Much appreciated... cheers, my friend!

Carol Eastman September 16, 2013 at 8:22 AM Poor Dragon... call his name and his head whips around as he keeps on walking. Splat! I shouldn't laugh!... But Darn... The look on his face! The only problem is the house shakes and the wall plaster comes off, a little! I'll find a way to help him... Tomorrow!... Hey Dragon! Splat!...Snicker!... You'd think he'd learn! Silly Dragon!... I wonder about him... He chases me for calling him silly, but not for getting him to walk into walls?... Don't worry, it doesn't hurt him! Strange but true!
