Love Comes Unexpectedly2
Hear me read
the poem as
an MP3 file.
Watch me read
the poem as
an MP4 file.
Love comes unexpectedly,
As though a melody
Came flooding into everyday,
urning thought to dance.
It isn't sensuality,
Or plain good company,
Or beauty, or a fragrant spray
That brings one to romance;
But these and some sweet mystery,
A sensuous sanctity,
That makes a family out of play
And fate of wayward chance.
