Love And Attention You And I Deserve Poem by John Sensele

Do not steal from us the love and attention you and I deserve
Despite the way my innermost thoughts you paraphrase
Let us nourish and brandish the love we serve and preserve.

Stand firm in the face of challenges you and I attempt to unnerve
In settings and circumstances a daze praises in our catchphrase
Do not steal from us the love and attention you and I deserve.

Would rue the day for expediency's sake we abandon the verve
Love manifestations in their majesty and splendor appraise
Let us nourish and brandish the love we serve and preserve.

When the most sublime commitment we invest in affections we observe
In circumstances and contexts that set us ablaze
Do not steal from us the love and attention you and I deserve.

Despite insuperable obstacles and hurdles let's conserve
Energy and synergy against all odds to amaze
Detractors as we nourish and brandish the love we serve and preserve.

In the end, it's up to you and I to negotiate the last crucial curve
To turn the corner and emerge triumphant from the haze of the penultimate maze
Where we enthuse, ‘Do not steal from us the love and attention we deserve
Because we nourish and brandish the love we serve and preserve.'
