I can't quite recall who introduced us
perhaps it was Andrea
or maybe it was Roy
But...
for me it was love at first sight!
I have to admit you were not my usual type
but oh boy your personality won me over
and I was howling with laughter in your company
I studied your form intently
especially the cheeky bits!
It was obvious from the start that you were short
but what you lacked in length
you made up for in so many other ways!!!
It didnt take long for me to perfect my technique
and I really had a blast!
Day or night I couldn't get enough of you
It was a case of
any time
any place
any where
In our early days
I'd toss and turn in bed
often waking in the wee small hours
but I was always thinking of you
Sadly, over recent months
my passion for you has waned
in fact, some days I seldom give you a second thought
Limericks, you will always be my poetry love
But by using chat GP and plagiarism
some poets here have stolen the joy from my heart
by creating you at the push of a button!
Your kiss is like nutmeg on my tongue
Hot and spicy enticing me to respond
Notice how red your touch is at hand
Weak brown knees can hardly stand
Passionately my heart skips a beat
Head over heels in love feeling free
To be a little silly with rose colored glasses
Feeling sexy sweet and sticky like molasses
Are you real or in my mood
Have I created thoughts of you
(Verse 2 - B) I'm feelin' like a queen, got the crown on my head Got the music playin', got the love in my bed It's ya boy, Young, he's got the flow on a roll Got the rap game on lock, got the haters in they soul We're makin' moves, got the love on a hundred Got the Meta videos playin', got the 2031 vibe, it's nothin' new We're sippin' on that good, got the music playin' low Got the love, got the passion, got the everything, you know Woo, we're on fire, got the love burnin' bright Got the music, got the love, got the everything, all night It's ya girl, B, and ya boy, Young, we're takin' over the game Got the love, got the music, got the everything, it's all the same We're head over heels, in love, it's a crazy feel Got the world spinning round, like a Meta video reel.
I was branded a randy Romeo
I was not looking for Juliet to
sow oats
I was young and vibrant looking
for fun
When I met her accidentally in
the city of the Sun
Doing what boys my age were doing
Mimicking borrowed accents and
characters
Out of James Hadley Chase novels.
I asked her out at the first instance
and she agreed
I felt she was too naive and an easy
picking,
So I thought such innocence
Meeting Francis Moses, my pseudo
name
For cover and get away
Prince charming having ala carte all
in one swoop.
I thought I will eat my cake and wipe
my lips clean
With a smirk on my face I looked away
easy prey, so I thought
But i was wrong I didn't bargain in falling
in love
Cupid's arrow scored the bulls eye of my
heart
And I fell head over heels in love for the
first time.
I was out for a prank and became a victim
instead I got ranked.
Giggles and happiness
Go hand in hand
When you're head over heels in love
We giggle like a teen
At our first love scene
We discover girls are so nice to hug
Can't think of a thing
I'd rather be doing
Than smooching till the first light of dawn
I'm starting to tremble
My cheeks all aglow
As I tell you I've loved you for so long
These three simple words
Will have to suffice
I love you, I love you, I love you, my sweet
That's nine simple words
Counted nine plus two
But numbers don't matter, tweet tweet
Mind's turned to mush
Can't get enough
Of your magical love concoction
Please never stray
Think of you every day
You take me to your world of seduction
It rained.
A long dead dog got wet.
I fell head over heels in love again.
I think I died - thought - thunk.
Hot coffee revived
black no sugar.
Walking now on pins and needles
same ol same ol.
Good to be me and not that guy
without a raincoat.
Listening to Shostakovich.
Do I make myself clear?
Going to the bathroom - I mean toilet.
Have to floss.
Exit.
MIRACULOUS DOWNPOUR
Exuberant, miraculous downpour spreading its wings ,forming a canopy above
Seems benevolent Almighty showers hugs and cuddles
Breezy, green bushes head over heels in love
I immerse in healing bubbles and scurries off all troubles.

Vampire bat with an injured wing.
Swoops through the air with a bit of a swing.
Crow drops down with a caw and a ring.
It is glamorous, a really shiny new thing.
What will you do with it the bat asks?
I’ll put it in her nest, next to the flask.
Is that wine? The bat asks with alarm.
Knowing that drunk crows lose their charm.
Sure says the crow. It’s no big deal.
They soon hear her calling him a heel.
The engagement did not work out this time.
He came back sober, with a shiny dime.
Okay, she agreed, but I want the ring too.
A greedy crow, but what could he do?
He had fallen flat out head over heels in love.
With this cute little number, sexy turtledove.
Overnight she landed
was she sent from up above
shiny ~ glistening ~ white
at my very first sight
I fell head over heels in love
She towered high ~ way into the sky
So beautiful was she ~ aesthetically ethereal
When at that moment
a seagull passing by
paused a while
with a blink of his eye
I could almost hear him say
“You weren’t here yesterday”
I stand first in the queue
for her inaugural flight
on this magnificent orb
who arrived in the night
as I enter her capsule
she begins to revolve
my first ride on a Ferris wheel
oh such joy to behold…
Written 2nd September 2020 - there is something so magical when seeing a Ferris wheel...

FIRST PLACE
In the dawn, when the setting sun scattered it's colors
The moon sprinkled him with glitters:
And for the first time she saw him in the gleaming moonlight...
In his eyes she lost herself,
Her heart skipped a beat,
And she hushed herself,
She fall head over heels in love with him...
Mercy from God having you as a child
You blossom in our hearts in our souls you thrive
Daring as you are beauty grows in your mind
Admired for who you are ahead of your time
Unique in your deep sight shining soul in our eyes
Great our expectations are huge what is inside
Head over heels in love with what is fine in life
Treasure what you have you are our very pride
Eager your dreams are cheer and bring them to light
Radiant and full of life what you touch turns bright.
You had to be strong and brave,
but the odds were not in your favor.
You had to survive in a cruel world,
even when your spirit was crushed.
You had to find a way to hope,
in the midst of hopelessness.
You had to overcome your own
insecurities.
You were neglected, beaten
and raped.
But you still triumphed
and found love,
You fell head over heels in love
with yourself.
And you are without a doubt my hero.

A RED HORSE
Marc and Bella
beg for blessings
the portrait of a marriage
candlelight and the crimson cover
rides overhead
like a holy arch
a handstand,
like the artist’s euphoria,
balances on the back
of the red horse
dark days of Russia
play in the fields below
a suspended violin
wisps of forlorn clouds
blue with happiness
Marc embraces his bride
Bella holds her fan on earth
but a songsheet in heaven’s clouds
one bare foot upon
the backside of the reddened horse
her lips round with soothing sound
Marc’s protection above her
playing their wedding song
fantasy over rooftop
an arching crescent moon
“head over heels” in love
8/16/2017
Today, I fell head-over-heels in love,
beyond happiness, I'm soaring above.
Love's gentle, and yet harbors such power,
that lingers, like the scent of a flower.
I thought that I understood who I was,
until I felt the magic that love does.
I cannot put my feelings into words,
eclipsing the sun, they outfly the birds.
As my trusting heart accepted love's gift,
doubts and inhibitions were set adrift.
Love is an extraordinary feeling,
lifting me to heights that leave me reeling.
I'm afloat, on billowing clouds of bliss,
embracing a dream, love blessed with a kiss.
