Ph: Love: Winning Olympic Gold In Love Poem by Brian Johnston
Ph: Love: Winning Olympic Gold In Love
Do you despair that you'll never be loved?
Is your home field's crop smooth river rock?
When you look in a mirror is no one beside you?
Can Santa find nothing to put in your sock?
Do the girls that seem friendly somehow never please you,
Their clothes too expensive, their make up too much?
Are they out of your class perhaps,
Not warm enough, even cold to the touch?
Well your problem could be expectation,
With thinking you actually know what you want!
For surprise often holds key to love's greatest treasures,
Mistake to believe you have gift of savant!
It is freedom to love or not love that holds blessing
And choice not just chemistry forms a true bond,
It's your vulnerability tugging on heart strings
The source of the power in sorcerer's wand.
It is freedom of choice that reveals you're Olympic,
For it shows a heart that is shining like gold,
Which suggests to all looking no tarnish can happen,
And future unlikely to ever get cold.

i like the rhyming. i like the flow. but i have (at least) one question, rhetorical. i shall accept suggested answer(s) , which doesn't mean i'll agree! in these lines: It is freedom to love or not love that holds blessing And choice not just chemistry forms a true bond, OH! I just reread the lines and noticed YOUR just, in not just chemistry. so i guess you admit that so-called chemistry DOES influence who one loves or does not love. i at first was going to ask if you thought choosing, on one person's part, was enough to form a bond and be loved. so, it is more complex after all. one can be free to love or not, but i'd say the freedom is not exactly controlled freedom. i may love someone but at the same time i may think i should not love the person. and between two people, one may love the other but not get love back in return. there has to be chemistry, i.e. the person/chemical # 1 must mix well enough with person/chemical #2 to form a chemical bond which is (hopefully) stable. it will not explode and injure both, and it will not deteriorate until the bond is dissolved over time. hey, this is interesting but not a lot of fun to talk about! bri :)
