The Mother of All Love Poems

THE MOTHER OF ALL LOVE POEMS How much love, comes from the heart of me? Let's count the ways, far as my heart can see, no more than's in my gizzard or my liver, I'll ever find any love to give her, as much as in my bladder, if it's grown or sharing space with a kidney stone, my heart hath love, as much as my tongue, and in between my hips it's hung, in hair that grows out of my nose, and in my spleen--between my toes, the heart pumps blood, and nothing more, the bladder pees toward the floor, but never will you ever find one bit of love, cept in the mind. © ron wilson

Funny, funny I enjoyed, in my gizzard, liver and , between my toes. I used that same wording in "Ugly Piercing" 2018. Might make you laugh.

Well Ron (vee), you brought the guff and fluff of a regular love poem back into the places where it belongs. The body knows its own chemistry. Wonderful piece.

Ron, you are in your element, or rising to the heights of self-deprecating and endearing poetry. Clever and imaginative ... I don't believe a word about your heart pumps nothing but mere blood. It shares life & vivacity with us. Uplifting. Thax
