"Talk of Love"

Out of My Book: Love and Tears

They say the ocean is pretty

The sky’s a pretty blue

But nothing’s as pretty

My Darling, as you

It’s just Talk of Love

Whenever I see you

Just Talk of Love

How else can I tell you

They say the stars in the sky

To each, there is a love

Of the ones passing by

I know, I found my love

It’s just Talk of Love

Whenever I see you

Just Talk of Love

How else can I tell you

They say the mountains like paintings

When they are far away

When they are nearing

Show that love has come our way

So darling, now you see

What nature can say

So please, come to me

And help set nature on her way.

I wrote this in boot camp in the Marines on the beach. It was dawn and the red clouds were shining on the ocean. It was a pretty sunrise. I had about eight.
