Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

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

Demetrios Trifiatis March 4, 2014 at 5:41 AM 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. Jack Ellison March 4, 2014 at 6:06 AM 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

Carol Eastman March 3, 2014 at 8:22 AM 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! Jack Ellison March 3, 2014 at 8:25 AM You sure got your hands full my dear Carol! Hope you and your gang have a super day... and stay warm! Huggsies, Jacko! XOX
