'The Last Love Poem'
© Raul Cortes Jr. 1-2-19
You're Above The World, turn off the TV, close the magazine.
You're loved unconditionally, it's not a fantasy.
If something's wrong with me, I won't give you the silent treatment.
Sister, don't retreat to quiet suffering, let's share our deepest secrets.
Speak up & discuss, simplify the situation's code.
An unresolved combination produces brute manipulation, frustration mode.
Even though life is my biggest struggle, still I will try to uplift your pain.
Precious jewelry in the treasure box, (let me pick your brain).
May I fit the profile, not up against unrealistic demands.
I work very hard for the little I have, I'm not a materialistic man.
How about a staring contest, remove my selfishness, pride & greed.
Beautiful We're In This Together..there is no 'i' in 'we'.
Got a problem? Unload the burden which erupts you.
Exhale after deep breathing then keep speaking, I won't interrupt you.
There are good & bad points about the both of us.
But our relationship is predicated upon what our focus is.
Teach Me How To Treat You Right, don't make me learn it on my own.
Let me add days to your life, the desire burning in my soul.
Lets plan ahead of time & laugh at preparation.
The height of disappointment is as high as the expectation.
Whatever happened yesterday is gone forever, may we forget it unphased.
May hopelessness fade so the flame of love will trail blaze.
Let's invest every relational virtue, striving for perfection.
Find out somebody got a problem with you? I am your protection.
Get on the same channel, put the battery in the remote-control 1st, don't forget.
So before we reach that next level..'Will you?'..you know the rest.
When we're doing good it's great even when times are harder.
I'm your friend, brother & other half, better than a knight in shining armor.
If God is our bridge as we cross paths & some thing's gone bad, no need for counselors.
Love is our foundation, not to mention, not withholding physical encounters.
I'll stop writing now & start this love everlasting, pages of letters.
It's one thing to speak but another putting words into action,..'Always & Forever'.
