Sweet little duckling, soul of pure white,
open your heart, let me love you tonight.
Don’t cower in fright, turn blind without sight,
passion, your friend, begs you turn on the light.

Legs weak in the past, trip, stumble and slip,
pleads heaven to send life’s leather bound whip,
to harrass, inspire, stop tears as they drip
unseen in the night like tides in full rip.

Glorious nature, mysterious space,
joins a soul living a life without pace
which tied to the past, future leading the race
steps into the void, shows all of its grace.

But where is the one who offered his soul,
promised the gold, life in a new home?  
He blew with the wind, his mind in a dome
of sticky fruit buns to be eaten alone.

In a mind of thick mesh his messages stick
swirling thoughts in the night of a devious trick
but graceful and light, no weight of a brick,  
the lesson of love burns as candles to wick.  

Five stages of love told in fables of old
pant up the road, strain under the load,
but dim is the light, passion put onto hold
till destiny calls two lovers back home.

Wow. This some great versions of the lessons that we learn about love. It personifies the passion that we feel for another person that we happen to be in love with, and it brings those things out. Not bad at all!

Thank you for responding, Little Girl.  I haven't been able to be here much lately but I hope that will soon change.
