Sweet and Bitter Stuff of Wonder
Brought to you by Mary K
a question and answer poem
*****
Why Are You So Perfect?
Your hands are so beautifully shaped;
Your legs – so strikingly great;
Your lips in a magnificent curl;
Your eyes – sunrise to the world.
Why are you so perfect for me?
My imperfections fit your infinity.

a love poem
*****
In all things done and then undone
I’ve walked, and looked and waited, too
In truth believed, then un-believed,
For I was seeing and un-seeing you.

“How long will you love me?” they often ask,
“You always say that Love is forever.”
“Love IS forever,” my answer is clever,
“Its objects, however, won’t last.”
