Young Love

All too Zany

By Shirley BelkPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

Sometimes, you just know...

A moment in time...wasting not a second

Being present...in to each other totally

Contemplating the future...with no doubts at all

Daring to hope...when others exercise caution

Enthralled with the hope...causing more passion

Forever could be ours...we believe it for sure

Giggling in anticipation...we are one

Heralding a new phase...not one bit afraid

Imagine it...color it and make it come alive

Jetting across the hurdles...and gaining strength

Kissing along the way...and then kissing some more

Letting go...no inhibitions or restraints

Making it work...no matter what

Not stopping...determined and sure

Only forward...not a backward glance

Passing the impossibles...and taking the blue ribbons

Questioning nothing....nothing to doubt

Reaching higher...and then a little higher

Smiling...because we did it

Together...just you and I

Ultimately...the winners

Victoriously...spurred even further

Wishing for more, more, more...still believing

Xylophonic music playing in our ears...hear it?

You and me...we can be

Zealots of our own making...do you see?

    This is a creative and captivating work that goes on exploring the journey of lover and perseverance. With this you have effectively conveyed a message of unwavering commitment and overcoming of obstacles together. The way you used the alphabetical progression is unique to me, It is my first time coming across something like this. Brilliant!

    Aww, this is what I hope my son feels with his new girlfriend. They are head over heels with each other.
