The Tongue-Tied Lover

Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.

I ask the heav'nly stars above
how I might send thee words of love -
for my impov'rished words won't do
when sending words of love to you.

A birthday shortly comes your way,
and I'm in complete disarray
whilst seeking clever words to say
on what will be your special day.

Hark! Cupid counsels - "Do not fret,
I'll make a poet of you yet,
and whilst you'll never be a bard,
go buy your love a birthday card."

"Pen words directly from your heart
writ with Cupid's finest dart -
there's one more thing that you must do -
ensure your words of love are true."

Now, I took Cupid at his word.
To my delight, my words were heard
I never penned a poem more fair
these words of love I wrote for her.

That special birthday's come and gone.
Soon you and I will be as one.
One final vow I make in rhyme.
I'll cherish thee till the end of time.
