Autumn brings falling leaves
The need for a fireplace
For hugs and coziness
Regular embrace
Hot chocolate is necessary
Good books and scarves
Plenty in the refridge
Lest you starve
A great companion
With whom to share the nights
Brings it all together
So everything is right

I adore you in that blue bandana
You wear it so proud
My filly, so silly
Really, you brought me home
Taught me the meaning of life
Which of course is love

Now we’re in the shank of it all
Able to shed
All the heartache that got us to this nirvana
I don’t ever want to be bored
Impossible with you

Look at the crescent moon tonight
We own this sky
We own this night
As I belong to you
As you belong to me

The tear that runs down my cheek this moment
Is one of delight
It’s because of you

Run with me
Let’s discover the fun in today
Come with me, let’s play
A picnic is in order, don’t you think?
At sunset we’ll have a drink
Toast each other and maybe get toasted
Let’s get on our way
You only live once so let’s live for today

Deep attachment and intimate love are part of the human condition
Everyone needs a someone to be with, converse, maybe to touch
To have a shoulder upon which to cry
This need is for all who live
Age, station in life, wealth do not matter
The same wants and needs cross all borders
The desire never subsides

Inspired by Roger Angell essay

Marie is his great love
So he is to her
Tom asked her to dance at the disco
It began as a whim
She was a student, he a young professional
It was magic
They connected
United in love
One morning as they awoke,
She asked him if he thought forever they could be?
He nodded yes, it was evident, their eventuality
But they were double-crossed
So cruel their fate
A car accident kept them away
Time would not wait
There were further misconnections
The years marched on
They grew older
Their love never gone
Marie thinks of him
Tom does of her
Life and love are not fair
Of that both are sure

It was her first kiss
She’d waited so long
Summer arrived, and with it, John
Such a handsome lad
Fit and with style
A lifeguard at the pool
Working part-time
Jeannie taught swimming
The kids had a blast
It was at the hotdog picnic
John didn’t ask
He just went for it
That was that
Both of them enthused
They left hand in hand
Johnny is off to college
Jeannie is still in high school
They text every day
Everything is cool
I forgot to mention
That for Johnny too
It was his first kiss
Then there were more than a few

She moved into his life
And he into hers
Seamlessly they united
Love as the cure
The perfect combination
Sure and pure
Amazing and beautiful
Each with such allure
So it was
Now it is
Ever it shall be
She and him
The perfect pair
In love endlessly
