July 26th's poem...

TITLE: "Yes?"

 

Life became a chore

I didn't want it anymore

My heart, soul and body

Lying broken on the floor.

The way ahead was black

Everything was way off track

and health, hope and friendship

were all things I seemed to lack.

Every day was bleak

My whole world was past its peak

So money, drugs and goodbyes

were the things I sought to seek.

 

Then God put you on my path

and you taught me how to laugh

and my love, hope and wisdom

were as high as a giraffe.

You showed me how to care

I felt feelings reappear

and tomorrow and tomorrows

were no longer things to fear.

And now my life is rosy

sitting here with you all cosy

and I must admit, my darling

I am feeling quite propose-y.

 

Lost my way a bit in the last couple of lines, but at least it ended cheerier than it started...
