I am in love.
Her name is Nicole, and she dots my face
Daily with kisses and sweet promises.
And I'll hold her forever, in her place,
Two warm arms reminding her that this is
Where she belongs.

I am insane
For thinking that you'd come and go.
Some day we'd split and I'd recooperate.
That I wouldn't starve in needing you so.
Instead I live my life as one long wait
For our union.

I am in love.
She tells me that she needs me when she calls
And the phone vibrates with her longing voice.
Back to her, my words of choice crawl.
"I will always love you," and I rejoyce
For she does too.

It's a roller coaster isn't it David? You wrote of this well. Just one small query did you plan to write rejoyce as a play on words in the last line, if so it is very clever.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

David, this is beautiful, and mushy,
and this hopeless romantic loves it, too!!

hehe no i didn't. I just tried to think of something that rhymed with 'voice'.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Nicole said that she didn't like it as much as her other poems...oh well.
