Rediscovering a Long Lost Love

To hold you again is all I can think of To feel your body touching mine To press your lips, to hear those words Love words so tender in rhyme Am I in heaven, have I left this earth Touch me to prove you are real My mind's all askew since your return Is it really you that I feel Read about love in all those books Never appeared real until now Cravings are almost too difficult to bear To survive I'm wondering how Then love falls softly into my lap The world is singing once more Love is what makes the world go round Known the whole world o'er To hold you again is all I can think of To feel your body touching mine Dedicated to all those rediscovering a long lost love © Jack Ellison 2014

Hi Jack; have not been around for a while. I just read your beautiful poem and I can relate to that. I found my first love 40 years later. He got to meet his daughter before he passed away. Thanks for sharing... Lucilla

Welcome back dear Lucilla! I've been in a bit of a funk lately! Probably caused by that ugly long winter we just went through! So onward and upward! Loving hugs, Jack XOXOXOX

WOW! Even I don't love my lawn that much! Know your winters are hard, but you've got to get a grip! Roll in the grass, Or get a candle that smells like it. We did that for Dragon. Until then, Every time, he smelled it, it went up in smoke. Remember, you have a lab puppy, so pooper scoop before rolling. The first time Dragon did it. We had to dump him in the lake for a bath! His penguins followed joyfully. But he chased us for an hour! It was freezing! Gee Fun comes in many forms... And my running shoes are ready. LOL
