Love II

Jealousy is not part of love,

it is a bumpy road to a perfect love.

Love often kindness and never rude.

It is always patient and never frustration.

It is neither conceited nor selfish.

It does not take life but to conflate them.

Othergirl

When I talk with other girl,

I always think of you,

your words are keener than their words,

and they are gentler, too.

When I look at other girl,

I wish your face were there,

with its brownish eyes and fair skin

and straight black hair.

When I think of other girl,

dreaming alone by day,

the thought of you like a strong wind

blows the dreams away.
