New Love
New Love
By Rick Rucker
Some say that Love’s a dance,
A ballet of Romance.
I think it a bit more intense,
Just by using common sense,
More like a fight with a bull,
A mortal combat, with no lull.
When we met, I tried to see,
Would you be a fit for me?
Could I live with you forever,
Mostly happy, leaving never?
That you are far smarter than me,
Anyone can clearly see,
Would you be happy to be tied,
Together with me, by your side?
Could we survive, could you take it?
Love forever, would we make it?
Now that we have a little history,
You are not as large a mystery,
You seem to want, like me,
A person to love you, eternally.
You are more cautious than am I,
I will love you ‘til I die.
When you feel comfy, and can see,
I’d love for you to live with me,
‘Til my dying breath,
Torrid lovers, until Death!
From others, you’ve heard this before,
I will do my best to restore,
Your faith that two can build a life,
Full of Love, not pain, and strife.
I will do all I can do,
To make life Heaven, just for you.
I feel I’m winning your Heart over,
But it won’t be only clover,
There will be troubles, that I’m sure,
But I promise, my heart is pure.
If you will give, to me, your hand,
You will be the Princess of the land!
You have asked me how I feel
I tell you that I would kneel,
Happily on bended leg,
For your hand to beg.
The rarest jewel is worth the wait,
In your hands, you hold my Fate.
Will you deign to wear the Crown,
Or, will I leave, with just a frown?
Finally, my Love, I pledge,
You brought me back from The Edge,
Your rescue will be rewarded handsomely,
If you will but stay with me!
I’d love to have your answer soon,
If “Yes,” I’ll grant, to you, the Moon!
