True Love
True Love
She gazed into my eye’s and set my heart a flutter
her form was really quite divine and I could only mutter.
I tried to get the words out but my tongue had gone all numb.
the people all around me must have thought I was struck dumb.
I slowly walked towards her and her gentle gaze met mine
those beautiful brown eye’s sent shivers down my spine.
I stood there quite dumb founded at her flowing auburn hair.
I have to make her mine forever this beauty, oh so rare.
It was not what I had come for I was only here to look
but this elegant young lady I just could not overlook.
We’ve been together now for years and still I love her fiery style
But the first time I saw that dappled filly will always bring a smile.

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Re: True Love
Very much like Ray Essery's first time I milked a cow, so the punchline gets telegraphed a bit mate. But a good poem in itself.

I wrote it for a girl at work and posted it on her facebook site, she is horse mad.
Her husband was not impressed though
