Romantic

What’s your definition of romantic?

My definition of romantic,

May seem, to some, pedantic,

Flowers and diamonds don’t do it for me,

I prefer a cosy sofa and  a cup of tea,

To talk  or be quiet and  an acceptance of fair

Ignoring both our  rather unkempt hair,

To smile at a shared  near  disaster,

That was fixed by a well applied sticky plaster,

To laugh at the smelly pompous neighbours,

Their behaviours  from,  please God save us,

We accept our faults for they are few,

One day our vows we must renew.

We might get around to that eventually,

And have a stonking,silly party

But then  again we were never that hot

And in truth  we  haven’t tied  the knot,

For that takes planning and a lot of  effort,

If you’re happy then just enjoy  your dessert

Let others dress up and parade in a square

For we have a love that is really quite rare .

Namaste and Thank You for reading

    The Importance of Romance in Life
    Romance is a beautiful expression of love and affection. It often involves passionate feelings, meaningful gestures, and emotional connection between individuals. More than just flowers or candlelit dinners, romance brings warmth, intimacy, and joy to our relationships. It helps strengthen bonds, fosters deeper communication, and adds a sense of excitement and appreciation to everyday life. Whether in new relationships or long-standing ones, romance plays a vital role in nurturing love and keeping the connection alive.
