My True Love

I've wrote about most everything
except about my true love.
This is a topic most poets
have not trouble writing of.

Trying to verbalize feelings of love
how should I properly share.
Will you understand my emotions
should you even care?

First time ever saw her
reason to live became clear.
She's my hopes, dreams and desires
to lose her my only fear.

Living to make her happy
can have anything she wants.
Give her pink skies and blue moons
even give her polka-dot elephants.

There's nothing wouldn't do for her
stay at home, run away or do back flips
Buy her diamonds, flowers and gifts
take her away on romantic trips.

Go to sleep praying she's happy
wishing I'd done more.
Wake in he morn wanting her
she's what I live for. 

Rolls over, touches my arm
get so thrilled I want to scream.
Is this woman I love real
or my paradise only a dream.

When I say 'I love you, Judy'
warmth words can't express.
Trying just to let her know
in my world, she's the best.

John Gondolf Date: 1/25/2018 11:13:00 AM Wayne, I enjoyed this romantic poem spoken from the heart. Congrats to you and Judy on your 45 years together, I wish you many more. John Login to Reply Carl Jent Date: 1/26/2018 9:29:00 AM Thanks John, 45 years more would be quite a time. My wife has lived with her mom (now 85) for the last 13 years. If we ever move back in together life could be rather challenging. I enjoy my carefree life. I think I'm up to the challenge. Thanks again

I edited the original poem I wrote in 2004. The contest did not want a new poem so I edited this one. The contests also did not want a poem that's 'rants', I think this one probably does. Oh, yes I have found true love...Judy and I will be married 45 years Feb. 10th. Take care. Wayne Carl Jent Date: 1/24/2018 4:04:00 PM Thanks for the wonderful comment.
