A Silly Song

Life, what a curious game, -
Love igniting the heart again…
And a million volts of challenge
Through your soul to mine is channeled.

Earth, what a thrilling stage,
Where races and wars are waged.
Competing – the heart and mind,
Which could win in a race so blind?

Natalia, Natalia, so “doomed” to luck your fate.
So charming in your folly,
You hope, and yet negate.

Natalia, Natalia, a girl to shake the Earth,
Your eyes are your regalia –
A thousand records worth…

The medals and goals await
To be dreamt while wide awake.
The magic carpet of love
Takes two pilots to rise and fly.

Life, what a clever game –
So much to be had and gained.
Waste a moment – a year wilts.
Waste a risk – kill the poet’s quill.

Natalia, Natalia, your name my magic wand.
It’s Roman, Greek, and Gallic.
It’s Universes wide.

Natalia, Natalia, so hopelessly blessed.
Reincarnated Thalia*? –
Her picture on my desk…

*Thalia – one of the Graces, the Greek Goddesses of beauty. Thalia meant cheer and blossoming.
