POEM 41 PARTNER PRATTLING
To be loved is the perpetual thirst
To deny it will leave you forever cursed
In the beginning, love is fragile
As it grows, it gains strength ample
To successfully love another
First, love yourself or be failure
Love came quietly, casting its spell
It had me in its grasp before I could tell
Love must be given freedom to grow
Unrestricted, it creates its own flow
Emotions are rampant, out of control
Bonding and serenity are the eventual goal
The world spins by, we don’t care
We just want to be a pair
Hand in hand, we stand facing the wind
With communication, we become disciplined
Trust is essential, built over time
Carefully constructed, can last a lifetime
Openness and truth are the foundation
Without them, we haven’t begun
Make no assumptions, be not a fool
Continuous communication is a basic rule
Take every opportunity to learn your partner
Things never stay the way they were
The touch of your partner is not to miss
Above other things, creates bonding and bliss
Time with your partner is never wasted
It solidifies and makes it grounded
An uplifting word will always be heard
Done daily, it’s never awkward
A compliment is never out of place
Anytime is good, inject it any place
An occasional gift helps it grow
Life is better in the afterglow
The work is not hard but rewarding
The results can make your heart sing
To be loved is the perpetual thirst
To deny it will leave you forever cursed
