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.
