Awesome Trouble Poem by Doris Cornago

What pleases you
is what you get
No one can make you do
against your will
Forget me in a moment?
You will if you want
You will if you can...

Alternating pleased
and displeased we play
a game of catch me
and leave me now
causing me to wonder
if the reward is at all
worth the awesome trouble...

Some days are good
Some days are better
When you make time
bend against your will
there is enough to squander
on us - so much laughter
As we clash asunder!

Longing to be with you
is longing to be with me
because in you is where
I see myself most clearly
So I think loving you is
loving myself, too,
which pleases both of us.
