Just Like Love Poem by Mark Heathcote

Just Like Love

Rating: 4.0


Just like love
I wear you like a glove
Don't you know that's love?
Don't you know that's real love?
When I wear you like a glove
That's real love
That's real, real love
The kind that keeps my blood pumping
And my mind and brain thumping
I might not be music to your ears
But it's what my heart thrives on…

Just like love
I wear you like a glove
Don't you know that's love?
Don't you know that's real love?
When I wear you like a glove
That's real love
That's real, real love
My desert flower—buttercup
I'd live on a dung heap if it wasn't for you
You refine me and beat me like sugarcane
You keep me from going numb and blue.

Just like love
I wear you like a glove
Don't you know that's love?
Don't you know that's real love?
When I wear you like a glove
That's real love
That's real, real love
When the heart is stuck like treacle
And the bees burn in kerosene
Like they're all in love having themselves a party.
That's when I've met with my dream baby.

That's real love
That's real, real love baby
When ribbon lightning takes you for a ride
Don't you know that's love?
Don't you know that's real, real love?
When I wear you like a glove
That's real love
That's real, real love baby
It isn't chocolates and flowers
Enfolded in the wings of a dove
No love that isn't love, that isn't real love.
