"the lucky one"

They say you will just know,
  When you meet the right one;
You won't want to look any further,
   All your searching is done!

They will complete you in a way
   You didn't know they could;
You find yourself going even further,
   Doing more than you ever would.

When they come along, they do all they can,
  To show how much they care;
They'll go above and beyond to prove
   They will always be there!

There will always be times,
   You don't see eye to eye;
But it never means near as much,
  To let your time pass by.

There are chances you take in life,
And things you may fear;
But they pay off in ways you can't foresee:
   'cause I'm the lucky one here!
A Poet writes from experience,
  dilettantes rave and rant

The price demanded to feed the Sage,
—wishing and hoping can’t

Magic in wrapping a word around,
  place known or thing you’ve done

Beauty when lyrics belong to you,
  —in songs now others sung

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
Think grand thoughts
And be somebody
Take the world by storm
Be skillful, be legendary
It is all within your grasp
Just rise up through the air
Let no one discourage you
Continue to climb those stairs
Deprived of much needed slumber
a warm, safe place
the blankets, I'm under.

Drowning in comfort, a nice sort of thing
drifting slowly away
until the alarm of life rings.
I'm very tired :/
Love is a fire,
finally caught,
an like a kite taking wind,
it's not something that's bought,

It's that most breathless feeling,
the kind that is sought,

An from the heart of the poet
that love
freely taught.
