a poem by mil williams
there's a love at first light
and it's when you've been
closer than anyone ever
expected
there's a love in the night
when the bedding is ready
and pillows embrace
the race to sublime
and then there's the love
at first sight we knew
when you wanted to meet me
and i fell heels over head
because you just said hello
and that's all it took
and you hugged me quite briefly
and up close i saw your dear dear face
and i know it shouldn't be
and if it should it shouldn't be me
but my 2024
would be perfect and true
if finally i and you
could be one couple
and beautiful pair
in a place where love
could be in the air
and where this could easily also
be that nation where life is valued
like no other i have known ...
so if these rhymes
may convince us now
that you and me together
are where our future lies
please contact me sooner than later
and definitely not at your leisure
because i am sadder than sad
without your lovely hand in mine
and a sofa that cuddles us
and a view to our right
that reaches right out to
a sky quite at night
where dancing nature
and human flame
and gold-lit stars
proclaim right now
that you and me
are clear as clear
that if they want to be
our future friends
the love of love
is where they'll be
when they think
of exactly what
we have chosen
to become
after years and years
of being apart
from home of homes
we once wanted to belong
and if we both might duly wish
where now we shall quite wondrous live
