"no Directions"

An affair of the heart has many forms...
It can blow you over like an October storm..
Sometimes it comes to you like a warm spring breeze..
Other times it can blind side you but move with ease..
It can twist your stomach into knots..
Or it can cover your fears when your mind is shot...
You might even fall into a pond of warm bliss...
Or have your knees buckle from just a thought of your kiss..
Love is a funny game with no rule book or directions...
We trip and fall and move on with some corrections..
Just when you think you've seen it all, 
another year goes by and still you fall..
That's what makes love so grand.. Today maybe alone, but
tomorrow a better hand...

Very sweet thoughts on love, Michael. Love can both hurt and make us feel more happiness than anything else. Such an enigma. We keep hoping that life/love will deal us "a better hand" tomorrow. Wonderful Poem! You're going to my favorite poets as well. This work is just one example why. Love, Carolyn
