Dear Doctor Love….


I hear
you might have the cure
for the love disease
so I’m sending you
a list of my ailments
if you could help me please….


I need a hundred thousand years
to be by someone’s side
a flowing bed to show
the ripples in a daily tide
I’d like while I’m still young
to have a strong hand to hold
that very same gentle strength
wrinkling with me when I am old
determination, drive, and ambition
one to admit they have
done wrong with verbal admission
someone to say what they mean
and mean what they say
standing side by side
through our bad days
who doesn’t mind the mundane
not looking for a thrill
who sees I have my own
aspirations, needs and a will
who will look beyond
what I look like into who I am
who is not always testing me
like I am the final exam
someone who understands
romance can be
a yellow rose
or doing laundry with me
I do not look for perfection
I do not find it within myself
but I don’t want to be a puppet
or sitting on this shelf


so doctor, doctor for this
is there a miracle or a cure
or shall I always live alone
and learn how to endure

signed…..heartsick

I like this. If, your doctor has a cure, tell him I need some help, too.

Perhaps I need to send one as well....perhaps he'd give the right prescription..

Thank you
