How Silly Is This Poem by Doris Cornago

How silly is this -

Champagne that fizzes

from stomach to nose

causing me to hiccup

fills heart to bursting,

lips in a smile widening...


A word, two words, a smile,

a playful nudge and I skyfall

head flipping over heels

rolling in a cartwheel -

not likely to end

even in a thousand years...


Doubts and suspicions

are not solutions

but could lead

to more condemnations

Best take control

hold your tongue and

hold out your hand...


You love him, make it clear

tell him that, make it real

encourage him, don't be a miser

He's tired, give your shoulder

even when you need an ear

give him both, be a sweet dear...


Tucking him in with feather kiss

make him sleep, stop talking please

give him peace and quick release

Be a source of joy, not a toy

don't make him weep when vulnerable

hold him steady, he's yours to keep...
