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

Even though my budgets measley

I could NEVER pass up a Mrs Beasley

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!

Sharing the love:
