Sophistication’s not for me, Would stifle my naivete. I simply love my woman, see, Who’s not a high complexity. If none but me likes her sweet eyes, The knowing world is not so wise. If only I know her deep … Continue reading →

On the tip of your nose my finger-tap; I scan your face like a world map. I tilt your head from left to right And see my future glowing bright. Your chin is firm—hard granite there; Your lips, rose petals, … Continue reading →

I almost fainted, picturing you, And not your face, your eyes, your lips. It was your hand, almost in mine. For I was reaching, you were reaching, And closer, closer, oh, so close, And then, I almost fainted! Oh, it … Continue reading →

You gave me two pancakes, I gave you one kiss. Why am l so hungry? Why do you smile? Hey, did l get cheated? Oh, this gambling! The house always wins.

Thoughtful, kind, and good and true, I get all the best of you. Loving, caring, heart if gold, Angel wings around me fold. We have spirits, you and I, Pressed together, still they fly. Fly serene and strong and sure, … Continue reading →

On my back I lie. Comes rumble of thunder, Shaking the house. Comes rain, Tapping on the roof, Then fists on the roof, Slow, then fast, Faster, fiercer, pounding! Then the whole sky! Down! Down through the roof, Down on … Continue reading →

I like how you find things out. Such direct questions. You are a shining light, bright. You persist so logically. I’m like wind; you, sun. Yet you are like spring to me. Fresh, and hard, you radiate. I play, bounce … Continue reading →

In the glow of the light of Clarinda, my love, There is something so soft, like the down of a dove; There is something so warm that is simple and sweet, Yet with firm common sense makes her loving complete. … Continue reading →

I wrote five hundred poems to win my love; I called her Luffy-Duff and Lovey-Dove. I saved up all my dough to make a flight So we could see our eyes and hold us tight. My passport’s in my hand, … Continue reading →

Just met, we here at table sit, Hard, hard bright, your eyes. My hand, you’re quite, quite fixed on it; Close, close to yours, it lies. The waiter comes, our cups clinks down; Pours the coffee—rich, dark brown. He goes. … Continue reading →
