(This came out of a self imposed exercise to write a poem inspired by a favorite movie, The Princess Bride.)
“It must be true love,” he cried
as he dropped his eyes.
“For I love you still
when you’re uncomfortable.”
“It must be true love,” he said
as he dropped his head.
“For I love you still
when you’ve unlovable.”
“It must be true love,” he weaped
as he fell asleep.
“For I love you still
that you’re unsleepable.”
For it’s true love…
and she requests a kiss.
My only reply to her…
As you wish…”
“It must be true love,” he sighs
as she passed him by.
“For I love you when
you’re unapproachable.”
“It must be true love,” he called
as he watched her fall.
“For I love you when
you’re unstoppable.”
“It must be true love,” he cried
as he questioned why.
“For I love you still
when unbelievable.”
For it’s true love…
and she requests a kiss.
My only reply to her…
As you wish…”
