Wee bits

Who says love has to be

marching band parades
on crowded city streets
with rose scented banners
and paper flowered floats
in the shape of two hearts
as candy is tossed to excited onlookers
and nicely dressed commentators
give a play by play
of what is obvious to everyone,
until it ends as quickly as it started

I prefer love in
little touches, tiny moments
petite phrases and wee bits
of the truest affection,
small in size but
large enough in feelings,

no pomp and circumstance,

just tiny endearments
that it will last into eternity

Too much sugar is bad for the teeth. A wee bit help one to remember the taste.

Thanks so much Cory. Like they say, you eat an elephant one bite at a time.

A simple gesture
Nothing more.

Of having a rose
Placed before me
When I least expect it.

Or coming home
And finding
A fully cooked meal
Awaiting me
Upon arrival.

Know
Some people feel
This need
For a splash.

As if
They're unsure
Of themselves
And the love
They profess
To have to you.

Never realizing
Its not the size.

Rather
The expression
That matters
In sharing
Your love.

I think you've covered it perfectly Therisa. Thanks so very much.

Your welcome, Will. Eventually, this will make its way, to my "12 Inch collection", if you want to read, what my take on this, is like.

I prefer love in

Beautiful poem. Love is really hidden in those wee bits moments and should be cherished. :)

Love this poem just a wee bit. :)
So true, love doesn't need to be a big production.
The subtle, quiet moments, and the little things are what make it special.
Nice job capturing that here Will.

Thanks so much Ana. A very special friend used the term, "Wee bits" in a message to me today and I just had to write a poem using those words as an inspiration. I am thrilled you liked this one just a wee bit. :)

[Matching Socks]

Inspiration often comes from those little things. :)

Yes it does...the tiniest gestures can mean so very much.
