To Her I Throw Away All Maybes (Version 2)
by David GarnerI dive.
And I don't wade.
I love.
And I no longer
walk the wishy washy line.
I caress.
And I wish to be nowhere else.
I divine.
This soul I've found is worthy of all atonement.
I sing.
And not just hum.
I wed.
And not just date.
I cook.
And not just eat.
I embrace.
And not just want to get inside her pants.
I dance.
And not just close and pelvic.
I move.
My eyes so I can see her total beauty.
I smile with one cheek.
I cannot contain how wonderful she is.
I say yes to her.
To her, I throw away all maybes. 11/24/2008 Author's Note: Nanette liked this title. So I decided to write a little more. Thanks, Nanette.
