Love Comes But Once by Possum

Love Comes But Once

when love comes knocking on your door
you panic and yet, you wonder with awe
you think and yet, you feel the ecstasy
the sweet romance that only love can give.

love comes but once and yet, you wonder
is this for real, for keeps, for eternity?
is this for joys, for cuddles, for hugs?
the sweet passion that only love can bring.

love comes but once and yet, you ask
for all the trimmings and the glories at once
for the waiting is really wrecking your nerves
the sweet torment that one true love comes with.
 
ah, love, you come but once in a lifetime
with your sweet romance, your sweet passion
with your sweet torment, you're awesome, and yet
you have to come home and stay in your nest.

love, you're so beautiful to cherish
and yet, you come but once in life.

Hi Possum, A competent poem, possibly a bit too sweet and uber-romantic for me, but very nice all the same. Although I thought that last months entry was slightly better.
 I find the monthly bun-fight for the writing competition very entertaining to watch, and in some ways I hope that you don't win it, as everyone who does seems to vanish off the face of the earth, and I enjoy reading your stuff. 
It's almost as though when they open their computer soft-wear prize they are instantly struck with anthrax poisoning. Maybe there could be a story for one of our American Sci-Fi writers there. Anyway, good luck, I hope you continue writing.

I think churchmouse is missing me, possum
Sorry churchmouse, my laptop breathed its last
Got the anthrax
So I downloaded the MyNovel software on my son's laptop
Later his got anthrax, too
So I lost the software
But I'll be back
I miss you, too churchmouse
and all y'all and the WC

possum, another great poem.  I am just wondering, are you talking about me?  No, just kidding.  Love your style.

Love is everywhere. But there's a love that we feel that's just meant for us and we feel the intensity. It eludes us and if we're lucky to catch it, we hope it endures. I think you've been lucky, possum. And you've been lucky to recognize the love that only comes but once.
And I really like this poem.

Thank you, IamVici.  You'll know when it's love.  You'll feel a kind of jolt that can't be compared to anything at all.  It's beautiful.  So capture that  love when it comes knocking on your door.and never let it go.
