“HOW I LEARNED [THAT] LOVE AIN’T ALL THE SAME!” a poem August 6, 2019 (Tuesday)

I found-out late-in-life, I-guess [that] Strategies-about-LOVE areN’T [all] the same;

ONE-PHILOSOPHY: “This-is-the-greatest-thing-since-white-bread!”

THE-OTHER: “It’s-OK, but-I-won’t-TAKE-THE-BLAME!”

As-it-turned-out, I-married-me-an-angel, but-my-parents-didn’t-care,

For how-her-pretty-wings-fluttered, saying: “She’s-too-much-in-the-air,”

But I-loved-me-an-angel; so, I hung on VERY LONG,

Until, over-time, I-listened-to-EVERY SINGLE SONG,

Which-said, “You CAN be happy, (pause) if-you stick-to YOUR,

WAY OF THINKING (pause) and NEVER do defer,

To others’ points of view!” ’cause (one day) it occurred to me:

IF MY IN-LAWS HAD-A-PROBLEM-[WITH-MOI], I WOULD JUST AGREE!

My-love-it-would-compel-me to-go [to-them] “on-bended-knee,”

And-beg to-be-“taken-back!” BACKWARDS, they would see,

Me-to-go for-I-would for-their-daughter’s-hand,

Because-for-me-LOVE, true-love, NE-VER-“TAKES-A-STAND!”

LOVE-WILL BOW-AND-BEND AND PLEAD-A-LOT AND-CRY,

TO-GET TO-THE-BELOVED (Who-is before my-eye!)

I have no pride; I-just need YOU;

I’ll-kiss-anyone’s-arse, so-we-won’t-be-“blue,”

So-I can-be with-YOU, “The-Girl-o’-My-Dreams!”

TRUE LOVE never – pouts or screams;

It just goes: “I’m IN-LOVE-with-you;

Whatever it takes, that’s what I’ll do!”©️
