If I had one more heart
I would readily give it to you
And to you, you and
perhaps to you too!
But you see, the one I had, is already taken
Yet everyday, I keep falling in love
unplanned and spontaneously
my senses so easily enraptured
I fall in love with your sunrise
I fall in love with my dusk
I fall in love with traditional cooking
When the heady aromas envelop
I romance aromatic baking
For it brings a smile on my kids’ faces
Makes my home smell heavenly
And store bought cookies replaces
I fall in love with the angelic tangle of arms and legs
now asleep without a care
Whose sibling rivalry and revelry fill my home and heart
As well as my life and soul
I fall in love with your words, your turn of phrase
What you say and what you leave unsaid
I fall in love with the verses that reach out to me,
The stories that only your mind can create
Your unique experience that you kindly share
I fall in love with the pictures of blooms and pets you send
I fall in love with the magic of movies
And their world of wondrous make- believe
I fall in love with many a books
Their life like characters and their authors
And the belief and conviction that they portray
I fall in love with the music I listen to,
The singer, the writer and the musician
I fall in love with the raindrops falling
The overcast skies and the crescent moon
I fall in love hopelessly and completely everyday
And as my whimsical heart waxes and wanes in love
The one who captured my heart many moons ago
Sits in a corner looking indulgently
At the shenanigans of my wayward heart
He draws me close and holds my hand and says
” Your heart is not my captive, let it love and love freely
As long as I have a place in your heart
Accommodate as many loves as you can”
Thus, in freeing my heart, he captures it again.

Indeed it continues to whisper within…the element of renewal is evident in love’s refuge to every smallest piece of creation…as the great poet said, ‘thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure…’
The poem conveys such pleasure…such delight…endless forms of love…its divinity in multitude…its infallibility and virginity at every point of renewal…its longing in itsel and its submission to itself too..
Love to get a few glimpses of your page…will explore it more to walk through its magical paths…my regards
