I Think I'Ll Write of Love
I think I’ll write of love
twinkling eyes and turtle doves
gazing into limpid space
‘THAT” look plastered on their face
babbling in soundless awe
elevating every flaw
hours spent in fawning glee
she loves me more than I love me
my eyes, my nose, my greasy hair
the very feelings that I share
although I cannot tell her so
I fear she’d just get up and go
her foot - it rubs up to my knee
oh gawd, please stop, I gotta pee
another problem to beset us
on her teeth….that piece of lettuce
and as we talk of reading Chaucer
he sips his tea….right from the saucer
they linger now – parting’s sweet sorrow
perhaps they’ll Facebook on the morrow
