Ripples of Love

Ripples of love

I feel my perspiration drop
Into the bucket as I mop
with rippling circles that expand
I’m awed by this phenenomenon
As if something that God had planned

You are my dearest golden charm
resplendent with your golden hair
Your hands are clasped as if in prayer
A rippled laughter disarms me
Your saintly humor does enhance

The floor is dry and we shall dance
and undulate like Sands of Time
Rippled excitement as we cling
Perhaps conclusions it will bring
To enter in another clime

Hi Ralph, when I read your first stanza, I had no idea how romantically it would end in the last stanza! Very beautifully done my friend. Good luck! :)
