Jan Oskar Hansen Poet Blank verse

Love Such Long Time Ago

Love…Such Long Time Ago 
Summers I dream of you and I say to myself if I had 
played my cards right my life would have taken another,
 path, only I don´t play cards and love has nothing to do 
with poker, you can´t win in love even if you have aces. 
It takes commitment, honesty and no fear of passing 
rejection. I wanted to take you to USA, drive through 
the states an make love to you in everyone and I would 
kiss your beautiful body, inhale your fragrance and not 
worry about tomorrow. I had the air ticket and money, 
Florida the first objective, but you were so impossible
 beautiful and I could not cope if you said no; and if you 
had said yes, how would I cope with your loveliness? 
I feared that on our journey you would find a bloke who 
could dance, leave let me continue a boundless journey 
through the USA. I would not know how to get home cause 
you are cleverer than me and knew how to read a map…
my map was love for you, sometimes, that is not enough. 
My love is infinite and as it is it will continue this way
… a dream and children I never had. I ask: forgive my timid 
heart and let me sleep.

Kathryn Collins August 13, 2012 at 8:42 AM Sweet regret. "I feared... you would find a bloke who could dance" and too soon for GPS. Actually, many a time my husband did say "let me sleep." With all the charming humor the message comes through. Grab that golden ring. love, Kathy Jan Oskar Hansen August 13, 2012 at 9:55 AM thank you kathy I have just finished a poem called loves epiphany...it is more dreamlike
