EXTRAORDINARY GIRL

 

For a young girl,

Well compared to me,

You have done something

Extraordinary to me

You have warmed my cold heart

You have cleansed my unclean soul

You have instilled purpose

Where there was none

Out of despair I now have hope

You have laid the ghosts of my past

So I now have a future

LOVE CONQUERS ALL?

 

Who ever said

“Love conquers all”

Obviously hadnt met you

Normal rules seem not to apply

I surrendered my heart

I bared my soul

All to no avail

You just used me

Then cast me aside

So I am once again alone

APPLE OF MY EYE

 

You are the apple of my eye

Sitting seductively silent

I seem to feel lust and love

Almost in equal measure

Your mere existence

Has brightened my being

And stirred my soul

And awakened feelings

Long buried

But after the lust evaporates

The love will remain

A more tangible emotion

So let us make memories

That we can treasure

ELAINE

 

I remember the first time

That I saw Elaine

Just one look

And I was smitten

But I couldn’t speak to her

I just watched

And admired

She caught me looking

Once or twice

And she smiled

Her smile was nice

But I looked away embarrassed

The last time she suddenly got up

And to my utter dismay

She was coming my way

I though she would have a go

About me staring

But no she said “hello”

And told me her name

Then for the longest time

She just looked at me

As I stuttered and stammered

Then she kissed me

GRACE

 

When I saw her

I fell in love with Grace

Though her reputation

Was as a straight lace

But I didn’t see that

At all in her face

I went and asked “Would

You dance with me Grace”

She said she would

“But nothing fast paced”

So I placed my hand

On the curve of her waist
And pulled her towards me

And though she was chaste

She didn’t pull away

Or repell my haste

So I danced the next dance

With the beautiful Grace

And the one after that

With a smile on my face

We left the dance floor

With fingers interlaced

On the day I placed my hand

On the curve of her waist
Was the day I fell in love

And my life was Graced

DECENT PROPOSAL

 

The traditional way

Is now rather passé

And may have had its day

But I will ask thee

While on bended knee

If thou wilt marry me

BECAUSE MY LOVE FOR YOU IS TRUE

 

Because my love for you is true

There is nothing I won’t do for you

Except for this one small thing

Which is that I won’t do nothing
