lovestruck

she looked at him and at once knew

that orange was just a shade of blue

that salt can sometimes taste very sweet

that a person can be victorious in defeat

that more is sometimes not as good as less

that looking back can be sure progress

that good news can leave a person distraught

that gods can fail where mortals will not

that the fiery afternoon sun can look dim

and that a million better men will never be him.

she wanted to hold him tight

tight for her was enough love

love but was out of sight

sight for so long and how

how he longed to hug her once

once like once upon a time

time but had fired its guns

guns proud of their crime.

needful things

a kiss of health, the reek of love

forgiveness from the gods above

warm food to put on the plate

a friend who thinks that you’re great

wealth enough for want and need

a good book for the soul to read

ah but what more can a man dare ask

but for some whiskey in his flask?
