Love

My dear friend, Love

Let’s forget the past 

and be friends again

So we can have a blast!!

Teach me this time

How to make a wish

when the shooting star goes 

for a celestial kiss.

Take me with you

to the end of a rainbow

not to look for gold

but just for a tango.

We can take a stroll

down by the river

to enjoy the rain and 

to hell with the fever!!

Come in my dreams 

so we can run on clouds

sitting on the moon

fishing for trouts.

We can call the angels

Not to grant a wish

but to bless us both

like a dear loving sis.

Is it time for a party?

We must invite - Hope

to make us high again

without the mandatory dope.

This one last time

come to me for keeps

don’t leave me like before

with just a cursory peep.

Not many days to go

For me to become history

before I finally go

help me solve love’s mystery.

Teach me how to love.

Please!!
