a twinkle in my mezzo
is a wrinkle in this forte
where flatulent is an eggplant
but virulent is my phone

that screamed from my soul

as she'd walk in a box of rings
that made me sing her too
With sheet of tears did blanket
Around her bed of posies alas

if heart truss sung to their content  
tonight the hour grew dark in Jodrell Bank
as this virtue of love did radio a Lovell
and sealed my fate in spite of her again
Bernard Lovell a radio astronomer died in England 2012.

My Dad would never cause any problem
For forty years he worked hard every day
      But when he took the time to talk to me
I remember the words that he would say
.
“Point your toes the way that you’re walkin’
Be happy with the things that you do
Listen well and do a lot less talkin’
And close the gate when you go through”

Summertime in Tennessee was steaming hot
And we’d go down to Lovell’s country store
He’d say, “if your not happy with what you’ve got,
Then you won’t be happy with more.”

He never had a lot of education
But each year I know he read a hundred books
The man who laid for me my foundation
Said life is not as hard as it looks

“Just point your toes the way that you’re walkin’
Be happy with the things that you do
Listen well and do a lot less talkin’
And close the gate when you go through.”
Simple life.

You came in my life as a stranger
Curly, hair, dimple on cheeks,
Smoky eyes for attracting me
With your story which had some
Pain to speak.

Everything was in your favour
You nailed in my heart by saving my life
From danger as a braver
Hanging out with you was my pleasure
You was the one who came in my life
With fun like a treasure.

Your gift for me was so sweet
The novel you gave twist my life
"You was sleeping since 10 years"
The words of dora make me surprise
I ran to find your memorize.

You was standing in front of me
But the tone of your voice was strange
You are not the one whom i love,
Your appearance was change .

"I killed you in the novel , you are my character Miss lovell, you are not alive "
The words of that stranger makes my heartbeat shrive.
Hope you loved it💕

"I can't imagine my life without you here by my side."

"If you can wait until the day I am free from everything, I will make sure that you will be the happiest bride."

"Please wait. Just wait. I love you very much, my only love."

Those words still lingers inside my heart. It saddens a part of me and at the same time, I feel excited to see him.

So, while waiting for his video call from overseas, I decided to write something in my small journal - a poem.

My heart is filled with love and affection,
My mind is full of wisdom and courage to hold on,
Still hoping that one day, you'll arrive and see me in person,
I promise that I will wait no matter how long it takes,
Because, my love for you is deeper than the flowing lava of the volcano.

I chuckled after writing the last part of my poem. Then, patiently waiting for a call from my dear love. But, minutes, and hours have passed, he didn't call me.

I tried to compose myself when all of a sudden the doorbell ring. So, I decided to go out of my room and find out who's passing by.

When I reached the front door and opened it, I saw four balloons and the words written on each balloon left me dumbfounded.

"Will you marry me, Selena?" Those were the words and for the first time in the last 5 years of long distance relationship, I got to see him personally.

Tears running down my cheeks while he is still waiting for my answer. Just like a flowing lava of erupting volcano, I can't help myself.

Without further ado, I said "YES, Lovell! Yes" to him. He kissed me while was hugging him tight.
