Lovers look up at the stars, <br />See the Universe dancing across the sky, <br />Perhaps a shooting star <br />And though humbled by the majesty of it all, <br />Seek to aspire to greatness here on Earth... <br />And what could be greater than love and falling in love? <br />We're never more alive than when first in love, <br />With thrills streaming through our hearts, <br />Fantasies flooding our sleeping thoughts, <br />Rehearsing things to say to that special one, <br />Hoping things will work out for us, <br />Dreams coming true here and here... <br /> <br />A few presents given back and forth, <br />A few delicate caresses no longer disguised, <br />The outspoken holding of hands, <br />First kiss, second kiss, utter bliss... <br />Then others finding out and saying, <br />'Someone's in luh-uvv...' <br />The too-late-to-back-out-now scenario, <br />The serious looks when it's become so real, <br />The sudden half-based proposal, <br />The one that's still accepted with a kiss... <br />Tell me, what could be greater, <br />What could be greater, <br />What could be greater than this? <br /> <br /> <br />Denis Martindale, copyright, October 2013.<br /><br />Denis Martindale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-could-be-greater/
