Ode to My True Love


Moonstruck - John Patrick Shanley 

Ronny
Loretta, I love you. Not like they
told you love is and I didn't know
this either. But love don't make
things nice, it ruins everything, it
breaks your heart, it makes things a
mess. We're not here to make things
perfect. Snowflakes are perfect. The
stars are perfect. Not us. We are
here to ruin ourselves and break our
hearts and love the wrong people and
die!

Seeing all the Valentines posts floating around blogland made me think about the true meaning of love.  Like Ronny Cammareri said 'not like they told you love is'.  Not husband love, romantic love, how you love your children...you know the type of love I'm talking about ladies...Real gut wrenching, making you drive miles in a snow storm to an antique market love...And this came spewing out of my heart.  I thought I would open my spewing heart up to all of you. Ahem...(clearing my throat)...here goes:  

Oh vintage globe you may be dated
Even though you are likely faded

Old books with pages torn and musty
Are loved by me even if they’re dusty
Source
Old alarm clocks big and small
Line every shelf on my family room wall
Source
Rolling pins on a silver platter
Make my heart go a pitter patter
Source
Tea cups, ironstone and floral china
Every time I see you, I wanna make you mina
Source
Even though my budgets measley
I could NEVER pass up a Mrs Beasley
Source

Oh Chrissy, Velvet and Cinnamon doll
I can’t walk by you without hearing the call

While your condition may be rough
One, two, three is not enough

Old tarnished anything silver plate
Rickety  soda, milk or tea crate
Mismatched Victorian leather skate
Rusty old Iron gate,
Cellulose saltshaker without a mate
Worry not about your fate
You’ll come home with me without debate!

  3. Best valentine ever. Glad you opened your spewing heart up. The thought of all those globes and clocks and books and dishes made my heart skip a beat. You rock a Valentine like nobody else.

  7. Loved your poem. I couldn't stop smiling when I saw the Crissy doll. She was the best with her long growing hair. I still have mine and I saved it for my daughters. But I don't think they loved her as much as I ever did.
