Just when you
Find someone that
You like all
The ones that
You liked before
Suddenly show interest
Is it because
You’re no longer
Available or are
We as humans
Only interested in
What we can’t
Have why are
We never satisfied
I shall never
Turn away from
You for we
Were then at
That same spot
At the same
Time and now
It’s our turn
On that green
Day came greetings
From far away
I’ll have all
Colors of wine
Which is now
Our own joke
You do see
When two people
Have their own
Silliness that’s repeated
It’s like a
Hatchling flapping wings
Before it’s first
Leap into sky
It’s the hallmark
Of something miraculous
About to happen
A newness of
Being one thing
About to become
Something very else
They say that
Love shows up
Around a corner
Or taps you
On the back
Taking notice you
Wonder why you
Hadn’t seen them
Before as funny
As it is
They’ve always been
There it’s just
That you couldn’t
See them because
You were looking
For someone else
When the one
Was right there
Not surprisingly I
Am giddy with
Glee like a
Child amidst boxes
Paper and ribbon
On Christmas morn
Saturated with newness
And lovely surprise
Like an excited
Puppy my happiness
Does embarrass me
But instead of
Tail my tongue
Wags too much
Excuse my verbosity
I mean no
Harm except to
Simply say weeeeee
For you are
In my life
So people read
This and me
And I stand
Naked here awaiting
The tomatoes and
Soured fruit but
You of all
People must know
That I’ve kept
That small part
Of me tucked
Right here for
You far away
From them and
When this is
Over I will
Hand it to
You and fly
Away it will
Free except for
Us set free
