MIRRORS OF LIFE
"I DIDN'T MEAN TO FALL IN LOVE"
I DIDN'T MEAN TO FALL IN LOVE
IT WAS NOT MY PLAN AT ALL
WE MET & TALKED OF MANY THINGS
FROM WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL.
WE EACH SHARED ONE ANOTHER'S HEARTACHES
OUR JOYS AND BLESSINGS TOO
SOME TYPED WORDS ON A PUTER SCREEN
WAS ALL I HAD OF YOU.
IT STARTED OUT AS FANTASY
AS THERE WAS NO FACE TO SEE
AND I WAS SURE THESE MERE WORDS
WOULD NEVER GET THE BEST OF ME,
BUT ON & ON THE MESSAGES CAME
AND STEADILY POUNDED AT MY HEART'S DOOR
SURELY I HAD GONE INSANE
FOR I CRAVED THEM MORE AND MORE!
FOR EACH REALITY OF TOMORROW
YOUR HIDDEN FACE EACH SMILE I DREW
AND PAINTED EVERY LITTLE FROWN
THAT CAME TO BOTHER YOU.
CAREFULLY FROM EACH MESSAGE I DREW UPON
IN PERFECT RYTHYM & RHYME
AND SOON FOUND OUT THAT YOU HAD SLIPPED
INTO THIS OLD HEART OF MINE
THEN YOU SENT YOUR PICTURE
AN IMAGE ON THE PUTER SCREEN
MY HANDS BEGIN TO SHAKE
GUESS YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I AM A MARRIED MAN
AND A TESTY LITTLE WIFE
WHO SOMETIMES MAKES ME SAD
AND WANT TO END MY LIFE.
SO, FOR SOLACE I LOOK UPON YOUR ANGELIC FACE
TO MATCH THE IMAGE IN MY MIND
DEEPLY I HAD TRACED EACH YOUTHFUL THOUGHT
DEAR GOD! WHAT WAS IT I HOPED TO FIND,
SOME YOUTHFUL PART OF MYSELF GONE DEAD
IN AN OLD POET'S WELL-USED HEART?
AND YOU GAVE ME STRENGTH TO LIVE AGAIN
AND DARE ANOTHER START
I THANK GOD FOR YOU, DEAR SWEET
AND HIS ANGELS UP ABOVE
BUT I'M SORRY I MUST TELL YOU
"I DIDN'T MEAN TO FALL IN LOVE".
