LIFE TO LIVE

Desperation - part 3

*******************

Lie there lost in pixels

As I clutch her to my chest

If I had more arms to give her

I would surely do my best

To enclose her like a blanket

Wrap a sea around her breast

A thousand points of contact

Like an octopus dress!

I can't believe I found you

I can't believe you're here

I can't believe your smile

For I surely hold it dear

I can't believe your wisdom

I can't wait to hear your laugh

Every time that it transpires

I'm an inspired better-half!

We dream of things that are unbroken

We dream of lives that set us free

Indoctrinated and bespoken

It is always - you and me

Ridiculous set of parameters!

Yet you agree to every one

Each of us live in this pentameter

There'll be five if

We add One

27 years of searching

You made me promise – so I did

Exactly, as you told me

Now we've got this!

Life to live.
