WHEN LOVE COMES, BE THERE


WHEN LOVE COMES, BE THERE

Love’s a grin away when you’re near me,
A tall glass of nectar to imbibe
like royalty, a common man made king.
I was the naïve fool who declared  
how love was a joy untenable,
playing out behind a keyhole, malleable
to others who were adept at grasping
opportunity and calling it love.
How much I finally learned in hindsight!
Love lacks heartsick trammel for those who dare.
I fell for you in the backseat of
Debbie’s red car that first time our hands touched.
