when I was a small boy they told me to be sure and fall in love and boy, I certainly did try I fell in love, so many, many times and I'm not that small boy anymore I searched for love's heavenly bliss cause that's what I was told I should do Delores first captured my heart high school junior-senior banquet and dance later, on the way home off a side road for some groping and kissing to me that was love's heavenly bliss didn't last, didn't last but then there was Dorothy older by some years than moi in the cold, cold, Wyoming winters I, wearing Air Force blues melding with her bluest of eyes backseat of her car more involved groping and lip locking than with Delores and I thought for sure this was love's heavenly bliss wasn't to be, wasn't to be I found Marionette at the roller rink back home in Arkansas chased off the guy she was skating with gave her some good moves she gave me more of her soon we were walking down the aisle wedding paradise much, much too young for this to ever be love's heavenly bliss Nanette, sloe-eyed beauty New York City born and bred caught my eye because she stood out as the normal one in 1960's LA madness Las Vegas married Los Angeles separated for good the years between the two cities much pain and sorrow so, no this was not love's heavenly bliss it came close, it came close so many woman came and went literally and figuratively after her the love word passed around like dinner rolls at a banquet each time I just knew this was love's heavenly bliss not to be so, not to be so found out it was me, not them (well, it was some of "them") that was the problem sunk low in self esteem very low then there was Dottie two lost souls reaching out for help love and someone to care we understood our situation talked about it love's heavenly bliss was not on the table still . . . our need was so great we stayed married thirty some odd years ah now we come to . . . her the one true love of my life she is my lover my confessor and everything in between this time, and it is about time she is love's heavenly bliss ©December 16, 2011 / Jerry Pat Bolton [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (12-16-2011 11:07 AM).] |

I am happy for you, Jerry, that the Heavenly Bliss has arrived. I enjoyed reading your very lovely poetic considerations about every "heavenly bliss" candidate in your life.  In retrospection, quite naturally, it is always the one in the Now who has all the right numbers to convince us that the top has been reached.It's just a great feeling and a precious gift too, isn't it?!
