True Love Is When Your Heart Says, 'Wow! ' Poem by Denis Martindale

True love is when your heart says, 'WOW! '
When other words won't do...
When, suddenly, you sense it's now
God's given you a clue!
Look deep within those twinkling eyes
And follow every word...
Be winsome, gentle, oh so nice...
Till romance has occurred!
Flirtatious thoughts are sometimes shared
With hints of future joys...
Then precious gifts to show you've cared,
Not bribes or selfish ploys.
Love surely grows when lips anoint
The thresholds of your souls.
At night, your dreams can coyly point
To wholesome schemes and goals.
Who knows if Church-blessed marriage waits?
Propose this very week?
The cautious wise man hesitates
Before he dares to speak.
Then, suddenly, the secret's known -
You must propose and soon!
For no man plans to be alone
Upon his honeymoon!
True love is when your heart says, 'WOW! '
And when two hearts agree
To honour every wedding vow...
In holy matrimony...
