I try to make you happy (a poem)
I try to make you happy.
Every waking thought,
like standing stones eternally recumbent,
this life has got a lot
of things
For us
To enjoy and spend; our time, with love.
Not a game,
Nor toy, the endless flight of married Life
and together in Death, for Joy
Where a heart-shaped Sun does rise from a heart-shaped box
bringing light
Into the ether, dawn of crave – to music, the fruit of Love
and to Gabrielle – the Love of My Life
forever be my girl?
I work to bring you pleasure.
Every hour of every day,
like standing stones eternally recumbent,
redeeming treasure
abundant
That we
Will enjoy and spend; our time, with love.
Not a game,
Nor a toy, the endless flight of married Life
and together in Death, for Joy
Where a heart-shaped Sun dawns into the same heart-shaped box
recharging every soul
From the ether, dusk of days – to music, the fruit of Love
and to Gabrielle – the Love of My Life
forever be my Girl?
