511 : Quiet Love


One Minute Writer has a daily prompt that we are supposed to complete in a minute. 
Never going to make the time limit with a long poem but welcome the prompt.

Quiet Love

I loved you 
From the beginning,
Your eyes,
Your heart, 
Your mind,
Entranced me
Beyond all reason
Left me dazzled
More than blind.
Sure you’re flawed.
But aren’t we all
So lowly scored?
It’s been a while 
Since I met you—
When you sent
My world a’spinning.
I loved you then—
Still do.

  2. Love with open eyes. Wonderful. My mother once told me that we don't think that the people we love are perfect - we just prefer their faults to other people's virtues.

  8. I've been on the One Minute Site and never created anything this wonderful (or long!). You have a nimble mind, Cos, and your paean to the lovely, lost Marilyn brought a tear to my eye. As for the flaws, that's what makes us unique! Amy

  13. Another of your lovely love poems, although I suspect the photo is a red herring.
