Analysis of Expressed Depths Of Love
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Expressed kept,
Of love felt.
Deeper than ocean depths.
Yet to adventure or explored.
Can have to feel more meaningful.
To keep unforgotten.
Than wishing it to want,
Love to say to another.
But gone to go ignored.
As if taken for granted.
By someone expecting more love to get.
Although,
Left to believe...
They provide the chips and cheese.
And also the honey that attracts,
One bee.
To hope,
One Queen among all hives to see.
Notices the buzz,
Of a 'wannabe' no different or unique.
Dismissing a blessing,
Kept to keep accepted to cherish...
For what it is that comes,
From no one else to admit...
They had been picked as a gift.
Wished to want delivered and get!
'I was meant for you.
As you were meant for me.
Regardless how deep any ocean may be.
I am the one to come,
To fulfill your every need.
Why do you keep fishing around,
For something better to be found?'
'I have higher expectations.'
'And,
I do too.
Although unlike you,
I know from 'Who' my blessings come.
To be bestowed.
Lowering my nose.
Accepting the sweet smell of your honey!'
'I never heard that before.'
'And I,
Never before...
To anyone ever to have said it!'
'So...
What between us,
Do you expect happens next?'
'A melting of a freeze.
That thaws away your disbelief!
Slow to heat up romantically.'
'Oh my...
Your comments?
Have left to leave me with goosebumps.'
'And...
Your presence has left my spirit to lift,
Higher than my expectations.'
'That I am aware of to clearly see.
Higher.
Than the deepest of oceans!'
