Love Poetry: Breathless

by david a. goodwin
(victorville, ca.)

'Give me several million hours
and I wouldn't have a clue,
how to write down in that time
all I love about you.

Give me a rainbow of colors
and bring the paint by the cart,
and there wouldn't be enough paint
to capture the love in my heart.

Take all the angels voices
singing out in unison,
and the song would be about you
and be the only song that's sung!

For if you give me one look,
or a smile, or a glance,
and that's all it would take
for my heart to flourish, and to dance!

You are the only catalyst
that gives me purpose, every day;
you're my very reason for breathing
yet, you take my breath away!'
