Array ( [sid] => 135791 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Love Poem [time] => 2007-07-07 23:55:44 [hometext] => [bodytext] => “Life is like a box of chocolates”,
They all, so wisely, seem to say.
But a ribboned box of Belgium’s fame
Holds more than fancied, foil-wrapped lies.

Take this, a strawberry cream, a dream.
A sweet, soft declaration of trust and lust.
A promise so beautiful, yet just as strong
As the fleeting brush, shy touch of a
Cloud.
Or this, a hazelnut whirl, a twirl
In lovers’ arms, a passionate glance, enraptured trance.
When it comes to the crunch, the fire is there,
But the honesty, interest…?
Beware.
Toffee surprise? Dry your eyes, all lies.
The vows are broken, words were spoken
Loud, in your ears. They ring and wrench,
Hard to chew, so longing, tough, just cry.
Why?
Maybe the chocolate square, how dare
They show their happy glow, it hit below
The belt. You wish. Anything to break the mould
Of green eyed flares, you must ensnare their
Hopes.
Or Turkish Delight, not right, it’s fright.
So scared they’ll up and leave, you believe,
They’re just too good, they’ll slip right through
Your grasping fingers like jelly, too bright and free to
Stay.

So yes, life’s like a box of this:
It’s ancient, crucial, centuries old,
That clichéd gift, £8.99
Means more than poem, verse or line.

It’s love.

“Life is like a box of chocolates”,
They all, so wisely, seem to say.
But a ribboned box of Belgium’s fame
Holds more than fancied, foil-wrapped lies.

Take this, a strawberry cream, a dream.
A sweet, soft declaration of trust and lust.
A promise so beautiful, yet just as strong
As the fleeting brush, shy touch of a
Cloud.
Or this, a hazelnut whirl, a twirl
In lovers’ arms, a passionate glance, enraptured trance.
When it comes to the crunch, the fire is there,
But the honesty, interest…?
Beware.
Toffee surprise? Dry your eyes, all lies.
The vows are broken, words were spoken
Loud, in your ears. They ring and wrench,
Hard to chew, so longing, tough, just cry.
Why?
Maybe the chocolate square, how dare
They show their happy glow, it hit below
The belt. You wish. Anything to break the mould
Of green eyed flares, you must ensnare their
Hopes.
Or Turkish Delight, not right, it’s fright.
So scared they’ll up and leave, you believe,
They’re just too good, they’ll slip right through
Your grasping fingers like jelly, too bright and free to
Stay.

So yes, life’s like a box of this:
It’s ancient, crucial, centuries old,
That clichéd gift, £8.99
Means more than poem, verse or line.

It’s love.
