For CARLEENE

by TIMOTHIOUS

Do you mind if I fall in love with you?

I mean head over heels madly in love.

Not just a simple pass of night kind.

Or that sicky-sweet on wings of a dove.

It's not if it hasn't already happened.

My universe brightens up when you're around.

My days empty and missing when you're not.

Long do I for your voice sound.

To converse on things artistic and not.

You bring out feelings I have not felt in the longest time.

To share your space gives me energy.

And doseth bringth me to poetic Rhyme.

An adventuring heart have I.

To follow the wings of dream.

To find that one who I am in search of.

Of you I speak of dearest Carleene.

One who is like me.

One who could understand.

The sound of the wings of a butterfly.

Or the gentle sweeping of a catamaran.

To feel the flows of painting.

Or be lost in a piece of music.

To know how it feels to be free

And just to smile never to lose it.

One who sees beyond what's seen

To sense the sunrise upon the crest of the lands.

To drift away the moon beams

Or just sit holding hands.

To create beyond a thought

And to put emotion to paper.

To feel the warm of a song.

Wanting the crowd not to taper.

To feel me near though I'm far away.

To lose not the joyfulness of the heart.

One who knows what to say.

And when to tear me apart.

Can you feel the colors of the rainbow?

And taste the scent of the trees?

Can you drift upon a sound wave?

And feel the salt of the seas?

Do you mind if I fall in love with you?

I know that things aren't Ideal right now.

But do you mind if I fall head over heels

madly in love with you any how?
