Christine Poem by PAUL OGUDA

Christine

This is to you my love

To tell you all in my heart

Known only to God above

I can’t stand to get hurt

Oh my gentle dove

I need you close, in my heart

Or I will starve

My sweet Christine

To me you are still hot

Like a girl who is sixteen

I can’t write like Winston Churchill

That sweet letter to Clementine

But I can write you a love poem,

This poem

And stand all the waiting

For a piece of your love

Even if it will take forever

I will give up never

Tears sparkling your brown eyes

Makes me utter no lies

You brighten my life

Like a night full of fireflies

I want you pretty close

Just for once…

Here have this rose

Its fragrance is like our time

Short, sweet yet memorable

But love is priceless

Like the Mona Lisa

Strong yet delicate

Like the tower of Pisa

I recall your gentle touch

Your sweet little words

Your protection like a safety hatch

If life was poker

Then you are the winning card

All along I have been a joker

Ending up this sad

But I have got to be real

Like a rocker

And tell you what I feel

Christine

You are the best thing

To ever happen to me
