DEAR YOU

By Michael G. Mansfield

I suffer from a condition

that only you and your love can cure.

no drink, no drug, not even Magic

can satisfy me with peace and happiness.

This I know for sure.

I’ve never been more determined

as I am now.

to exercise creative interest and charm

You’ve inspired me

to sing, whistle and dance

some say “how strange.”

but I say “love”

not how “bizarre.”

You and me are an important topic

that deserves true dedication

to preserve our desire and passion.

For I believe intelligent conversation

garnished with an abundance of compassion

has sealed the attraction.

My darling, I am always

overjoyed and wildly excited

each time I receive your letters.

Afterwards I find myself

wandering in circles

head light as a feather.

Yes it’s true

you’ve turned my world around

and for the better I explain

From here on out

it’s sunshine and blue skies

no more dark days crying inside

With my heart filled with pain,

at last I ask

that we both pay each other close mind

Let's lead this pact together

and take pleasure in each path we follow

in full lovers stride.
