Love? Poem by Simon Gowen

4 letters with a meaning
If you’re lucky you will see
That we all have diff’rent shots in life
So aim yours carefully

Don’t rapid fire your feelings
Don’t say the word with ease
Romantic men will tell you
When they’re on their bended Knees

But cupid is a clever one
He wears so many hats
One minute you love women
And the next one, you love cats!

So before you say “I love you”
Or “I love cake the best”
There’s one thing you must think about
I have for you a test

How “full of life” would you be
If I took “Cake” from your plate
Do you really “Love” that person
Or were they just good for a date?

So imagine life without them
I don’t mean “Days or weeks”
Don’t take advice from others
Just listen when your heart speaks.
