Freshness, Happiness and Truthfulness

Oh, lofty love if for you I could smile again I’d never on you inflict further pain Nor your love trap in my miserable chain If only you could grant me upfront A second chance to confront the affront I pinned on your sensitivity at the waterfront Where you and I first met You wearing the love helmet That made my resistance plummet As I gazed at you lost for words Until you surrendered passwords That grew into affection catchwords Graduating our puppy love into substance Until forces of circumstance Tore you from me in an instance Where a rush of mad blood to my head Made me wink at a redhead Plunging you and I at loggerhead Turning my world blue Losing the love glue That left me without a clue On where I could obtain forgiveness For the obtrusiveness and impulsiveness Inherent in the unattractiveness My gauche action brought in the wake Of the mistake Made fully awake But sleepwalking As I knew you lay quaking Breaking at the thought of my shaking The foundation of the love we built Not in a word or a quilt Not in loam, sand, wit or silt I beg you to take me back Cos you and I can pack Again more love in our stack Where I pledge to play fair To lavish on you more care As I dare say I’d no longer stare At anyone but you Each day, each night to love you anew To prepare for you and share a new love stew Filled with freshness Genuineness Truthfulness and happiness.

Was checking out some Zambian poets and this got me reading and smiling. Nice work!
