Two short love (?) poems

Post by jim turner »

Arithmetic of Love

After all is said and done,
opines the mathematician,
one and one make two.
Not so, Cupid protests, not true;
look closely, points that magician,
how one and one make one.

Midnight, Beginning of the End

“Are you asleep?”

“Yes.”

The first is romantic and tender, the second ... realistic and sad. Ah, well. Life is like that. Sue♥
