Love arrived like a tempest
Sweeping him off his
feet
Leaving him breathless
And trembling in its
wake
But although the storm
Was a wind of change
Which altered him
forever
It was not a breath of
fresh air
Her love was toxic
She controlled like a
terror
And even loves
betrayal
Could not break the
spell
Your heart is an oasis,
A place of love,
Where Venus resides,
But she resides alone
As you will not let me
in
When you love someone
And you know that they
love you,
When they speak your
name
It no longer sounds
the same
Will my plea above
To gladden and cheer
My ardent call for
love
Fall on deafened ear
Is there not but one
Who will hear my plea
And fill me with joy
Please, please hear me
Don’t leave me all
alone
Let me share my love
Please have mercy
Oh hear my plea above
Take heed of my plea
Just another soul to
love
Gentle and replete
And as precious as a
dove
Every morning, I watched you
As you got on the bus with graceful ease
You skirt just the wrong side of modest
Your blouse low cut to tease
I never knew your name
You were just the flirt in a skirt
My friend was obsessed by you
But although I could look at you with lust
You were not for me, not quite my cup of tea
I liked the quiet girl, two seats in front
Who got on and off the bus unnoticed
Except of course for me, I saw her
And I knew her name, and I married her
When will I reach the main event?
I’m tired of dainty
canapés
I’ve had too many hors
d'oeuvres
They are getting on my
nerves
When will I reach the
Entrée?
When will I meet the
one I seek?
My life long dining
companion
The loss of love you see
Isn’t due to
infidelity
It’s caused by over
familiarity
And excessive intimacy
For how can love
survive?
When before your eyes
Is the object of your
affection
Rubbing cream on some
infection
Or the person you are
dating
Is on the toilet
evacuating
