Poem written for me

For Claire



Love is like a deep, deep hole,

Easy to fall into, hard to escape.
Once you're in, it feels so good

With pure joy & adrenalin rushes.
Who wants to escape from all this attention?

Not us, we would be mad!
Enjoying too much the holding of hands

And the gentle, wholesome blushes.

The sharing of secrets, the telling of tales,

The truth can fuel the flame
That is so easily extinguished by

The stupid telling of an outright lie.
Forever is the only true direction,

So forever is where we shall go
Taking our time to get there, no rush,

No panic, just you... and I



The love of a friend is much more pure

Than the love you often find

It carries no burden, no grief, no pain.

Just there for both to feel.

Never sullied by the weight of lust,

That can cause broken hearts

Placed in the heart by your best friend,

It's purpose is to heal.
