What Do I Know of Love?
A poem about the concept of love.
I’m a single Pringle
One of quite a fewHis eyes on
Were not to beSo what do I know of love?
A mother embraces her childWho’s crying in despairA pair of warm armsA steady calm beatThat’s what I know of love
Disaster strikes, the twin towers hit
A million people broken from itFrantic phone calls, desperate last words
“I love you, I need you, I won’t let you go”
That’s what I’ve heard of love
Arrival gates at airportsJust like in the moviesA beaming smile
A “Welcome home”That’s what I’ve seen of love
A home cooked meal
Boiling in the pot
When made for two
That extra special stew
Is what I’ve tasted of love
But I’m a single Pringle
One of quite a fewThis valentine
He won’t be mine
So what do I know of love?

Lost
I recently moved over 500 miles to a new city I knew nothing about. I thought it would be an exciting adventure, a new chapter in my life. I thought I would make new friends and travel new places. Life would be good, I'd find a job easily, and live happily for a few years. That my friends, is called pure ignorance.
