Value Added Lover

POEM 44: VALUE ADDED LOVER

I would've gone for hugs.
But distance mocks.
I would've gone for kisses
But distance mocks still

I would've love to hold your hands
As we take a walk in the woods
But distance sits is a closet
Chuckling and mocking with zest.

I would've loved to flaunt you
On the faces of the others
But distance mocks me, mocks you
Like it did the others.

I would've gone for the dame next door
And outsmart distance once more
But what joy would I derive
In settling for less when you are more?

Of breath, my air you are.
Of thirst, water you are.
Of cold, duvet you are
Of gold, value you are.

So, lady mine
Would you be my VAL
My Value Added Lover?

"Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in. "Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good. I've made a speciality of babies"  "That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat"  After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"  "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...
