Love Poem: Speed

Speed

Saving up all my money 
 Going to buy a guitar
Got so many melodies
But made no music so far

Started to like writing 
Because of a special girl
She reaches out and touches me
From another part of the world

Now every day brings mystery
Of life’s beauty   to unfold
And I try to hide it
But I have fallen for this girl


But not going to push her
You can’t build love on speed
You can have all you want 
But can only use what you need

I like to see her smiling 
She brings out the best in me
And her joy is spreading
 Like the deep blue sea

And if you hear her talking
You swear it’s a symphony
And when she’s out walking
The sun comes down to see  

She got me hanging 
By the beat of my heart
And I’m just waiting
For her to say lets make a start

But I’m not going to push her
You can’t build love on speed
 Must have some patience
You can’t rush in with greed


Now I wake  each morning
Say hello to the sun
The sun says who you are  
Where have the lonely guy gone

I walk around singing 
At the top of my voice
The bird’s heard a melody 
Before it was a noise

Love can work magic
Deep down in your soul
Love can turn a broken heart 
In to a pot of goal

And I’m not going to push her
You can’t build love on speed
If you move to fast 
You could cause a stampede
