Something New

I've discovered something new I have fallen in love with you I decided long ago I'd be a bachelor all my life Now I ache for you to be my wife I've never experienced this before My heart's on the ceiling and my tongue's on the floor All I can do is drool in my chair Lusting for your ruby lips and golden hair I always thought no woman could get to me Now I have no desire to be free I've lost all concept of time and space All I can see is your beautiful face This is all new to me, how can this be? I'm not sixteen, I'm forty three I never thought I'd end up this way You've reduced me to a blubbering pile of clay Poetry Contest: Something New Sponsored by: Nina Parmenter 10/17/18
