Hey you

I love your little imperfections

the way you don't

cross you Ts

and then swing those 

off centered dots

on your little I s

spilling your earl grey

tea because your eyes

 are glued to the morning 

news paper ..darting back and forth

 like watching a tennis match.

.trying not to miss the small print

hey you

I love your little perfections

the way you

you see me 

love me ..

everyday

in everyway...

loving my little

imperfections..

your gentle touch

affection ..caring

so much.even when

our journey proves

rough and the road

we travel loses a tad 

more color

and we both lost

our rose colored glasses

along the way

But.. hey you

you're the one that remains true to my

heart..

we're so imperfectly

perfect for each other

because we're as one

synchronized beat 

in time.

What a sweet poem! Not overdone. Honest.

I'm in love with the "hey you" refrain -- all the gentle adoration without the eye roll factor of a "babe, honey, dear, sweetie" etc.

Thank you for your words!

In my experience of longterm relationships around me (I haven't had one), I find that people nitpick in the worst ways about the dumbest stuff. That's why your poem seems to be the antidote to this human frailty, as you draw a word picture of how it looks when a person doesn't just ACCEPT your shortcomings, but actually ENJOYS them! This is what we all crave in a friend or lover (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

This has a lovely, gentle undercurrent. So sentimental and romantic, with so many subtle gestures of love well expressed. I particularly liked the emphasis of the fading of the rose tinted glasses and yet the love remains. True love left intact beyond the scars of time. Well done

What a lovely offering to read. The beauty of love portrayed as more than Valentine hearts and chubby cherubs shooting arrows and blowing kisses. Young love might think it's full of fire and passion but there's nothing so hot as the bed of embers after the flames die away. Young love might think it's full of passion but it's really full of uncertainty and fear. While older love is like fine wine, getting better all the time or a comfortable pair of jeans that can't be replaced, no matter how threadbare they may seem. Older love has comfort and security and peace and a love of the familiar. Many's the time I would have traded all the Yankee Know-How in my lovers for a bit of Southern comfort. But living with your best friend and soul mate and sharing your name and life with them has to be the best. I know it is for me. :)

This is a love poem. One with a difference because it's not slushy, mushy love. It's real love which takes on board the imperfections as well as the good points. It's love that comes over time and experience of being together and knowing each other so well. I loved this poem Fran Marie. It's my cuppa tea.

Chris

[Fran Marie]
