From your old fart (Mark) on Valentine's Day - 14 Feb 2024

KING and QUEEN of POSSIBILITY

Nothing impresses the ladies more than a sense of humour

Accompanied by a smile and reasonable presentation

It feels elevation-magical when a woman laughs with you

Mainlining infectious confidence, a personal validation

Even the first time you clasp hands as a newly minted duo

Declaring to the world that something warm is in town

The King and Queen of Possibility are Navigating Love City

The excitement might just bring society tumbling down

Sat in a coffee shop discussing every cultural touchstone

Books, films, music and your individual signature attire

Common ground popping up in every sphere and probe

Maybe this is when all previous Loserville gets to retire

Hours have passed like minutes, yet the talk tank is eager

For further moments, twin thump-hearts will not sit still

Despite protests of equality and sharing our lots amicably

This is one cost that is no burden, I gladly foot the bill

The years may diminish the initial rush, reality is often cruel

Exchanges now routine, maybe all is said and done

But there's still a part of you that opens up the door ahead

Offers a seat. The privilege of her is earned, not won…
