A Declaration Of Love! Poem by Denis Martindale

I am a famous filmstar who saw you yesterday,
And so I wondered if you are the one for whom I pray.
Was it your hair that shone so fair? Was it your winning smile?
All I could do was stand and stare, then stay there for a while.
Perhaps God chose to intervene, for what else could I do?
Beyond your beauty, things unseen, each faded out of view.
And so this piece of poetry explains the love within,
Perhaps the chance, should you agree, for our love to begin.
I thought to share some roses, dear, but knew that they fade fast,
And yet, this poem makes things clear. I pray our love may last.
And so, if true love is to start, we ought to celebrate,
You are the girl who stole my heart, so I think we should date.
Of course, the choice now falls on you. I trust these words enough.
Declaring tenderness, so true! Declaring now, my love.


Denis Martindale, for the 20th of April 2024.
