Surprise Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I delight in the keeping,
Of that excited look...
Kept in your dancing,
And sparkling fresh eyes.

My wish is only to deliver,
One surprise after another.
To express my affection,
You spark to ignite...
Inside of me feelings felt.
No one else but you can do.

My wanting to surprise you,
Is my obligation.
Like the air I'm grateful,
That has given me life...
And the opportunity,
With breath to breathe.
To realize without you,
How boring this experience...
Of my life would be.

And I look forward,
To express my love.
Even in ways,
That have come to surprise...
Me.
