    Love Poem to my Existence in this World

    I love you! You know that. I want to dance and spin around
    And have sunshine and rain cascade down onto my skin.
    Oh, how my cells will embrace
    The nourishment the world bestows upon me.

    Oh you say IÕm sweet? Well, youÕre just as, more!
    And you, you with your face lit up and your swelling teeth,
    You are more perfect in my mind
    Than anyone ever, you seem my other half.

    Tomorrow maybe my joy will fade, and the waitress
    With the warm smile will be grumpy,
    And maybe that boyÕs smile will stop growing when I walk in the room
    But the memories will rekindle my love for you, life.

    Cheers! I wrote two versions of it, one with a few extra versions, and would like your opinion.

    Unfortunately I don't feel quite like this anymore... still happy but in a more hectic, unpredictable way, and reliant more on outside things. It's the boy in the poem's fault :blush:



    Love Poem to my Existence in this World mark two

    I love you! You know that. I want to dance and spin around
    And have sunshine and rain cascade down onto my skin.
    O, how my cells will embrace
    The nourishment the world bestows upon me.

    Oh you say I`m sweet? Well, you`re just as, more!
    And you, you with your face lit up and your swelling teeth,
    You are more perfect in my mind
    Than anyone ever, you seem my other half.

    I feel for the mule with the crusty knees
    Who hauls tangerines
    And stares blankly into space,
    Yet I cannot help but hug myself with
    Delight at the sight.
    Choking on my rice leads to
    Laughter through watery eyes.
    I greet a coming cold (achoo!)
    With the joy of garlic.

    I wiggle my toes with the delight of it all.
    Dance in my head as I walk down the street.
    Slide on the slippery floor in cheap shoes.
    I love the good and the bad equally.
    Every detail glows, every frown smiles.

    Tomorrow will pictures of pack animals
    Cut the misery of the world into my eyes?
    Will I bang my toe on a stray metal pole
    And swear and curse into the air that surrounds me?
    Ay me, I love you now, and I love you now.

    Tomorrow maybe my joy will fade, and the waitress
    With the warm smile will be grumpy,
    And maybe that boy`s smile will stop growing when I walk in the room
    But the memories will rekindle my love for you, Life.
