It was regarded as a bit of a coup
To win a contest on Poetry soup
Like opening a bland box
To find a chocolate Gateaux
I will have to think my rhyme things through

Loving you is feeling complete,
Loving you is an everyday treat.
Loving you is all I need,
Loving you is flying at speed.
Loving you is all consuming,
Loving you is flowers blooming.
Loving you is the rest of my life,
Loving you is one day being your wife.
Loving you is Christmas every day,
Loving you is all I say.
Loving you is far from small,
Loving you is giving my all.
Loving you is trying something new,
Loving you is the perfect view.
Loving you is all I know,
Loving you is chocolate gateaux.
Loving you is being 10 years old,
Loving you is having someone to hold.
Loving you is the hearts endeavour,
Loving you is my forever.

How does one rock and roll, I'd like to know
Do we turn to stone on which moss does grow
Are dinner rolls involved
This mystery's unsolved
Forget it, think I'll just have some chocolate gateaux

Such a finely honed sword is this loneliness
Slicing through tenuous sinews of yesterday.
I search for obscure corridors of happiness
Knowing that somehow I forgot the way.
From gloomy clouds I harvest the sorrow
Dripping into the cupped hands of my heart.
For there is no optimistic promise of tomorrow
As I curse my ship and unintelligible chart.
How bitter sweet this gateaux of quiet solitude
I garnish it with sprinkles of immense silence.
For loneliness is but a mere shift of attitude
From peaceful design to destructive violence.
I gather the jigsaw pieces of empty conversation
Falling snippets swirling on the winds of sound.
A soliloquy of madness expressed in futile oration
In chilling isolation the laughter of my soul is bound.
I strain to catch the words swirling on the breeze
Yesterday was surely a symphony of chatter.
This finely honed sword cuts deeply with ease
And though I bleed... it surely doesn't matter.
