Nothing more
Nothing less
You came into the shop
Where I worked
We chatted
You took my hand
We smiled
As we looked into each other’s eyes
I thought …a lovely man
Now isn’t that hope?
Of course, I did not know
You would be my lover
But what a nice smile
You came to see me
We had coffee
We talked of shoes and sailing ships
You told me who you were
And I told you about me
All the pieces fit
The puzzle complete
Based on that chance meeting
You listen to my poetry
You write and read to me
My life complete
You deserve a lover
That is the same
He loves me
He loves me not
He takes away lies
Brings hope
Coffee
And poetry

"You deserve a lover who takes away the lies and brings you hope, coffee, and poetry.”

This is delightful to read. I see that Ms Kahlo’s writing has
brought forth more beauty. It’s the simple things that attract us to others- not money or fame.
Indeed- I’m on the page as you. Such a lover is always welcome 😊
What a lovely thing to have... coffee and poetry... sometimes it's all that you need.
So very true and beautiful Annell! I love this!
Wow, the most beautiful love story!
Love that last stanza.
