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 John G.
