Love Poem

Love Poem

a beautiful accident occurred 

the day we met,

your beauty ran into my eyes

and then your voice scraped

the fender of my heart

and we laughed and exchanged

assurances of love

later exchanging vows

and living under one policy

some beautiful cumulus 

and accident forgiveness

neither of us 

felt we needed.

This is lovely-
For Freeform poetry I think the “ands” are not necessary

When your voice bumped
the fender - my heart
we laughed and exchanged
Promises of love

an accident -
forgiveness
neither of us
felt we needed.

I like your poem, changes the metaphor more than what I intended...but I see where you were headed.
thanks for the words and suggestions.

You create the mood do easy then severe the connection.
Your wit is sharper than ever. However we do need to discuss the gap in your coverage.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I really thought I paid the last installment---are you sure?

Thank you, Cherrie...

Beautifully written. Jacob!
Accidents happened… Unconscious by design - maybe, totally unexpected unlikely. That how love begins!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, might be around the next bend...
Thank you, Alla,

From the sound of things, you got totaled. I hope your premiums didn't go up.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

they already did, and I had to switch love insurance...
hard to get after so many accidents.

sounds like you had roadside assistance and a low deductible.

This is beautiful, Jacob, in so many ways. I love "your beauty ran into my eyes" and "then your voice scraped the fender of my heart."

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Thank you mucho, Linda Marie.

Serendipity brings people together....but sometimes it turns out to be an accident. But I think that you tell the tale of people who met and married and were actually happy. No forgiveness necessary. Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]

sometimes none is...thank you, Lydi...
