Abc’S of Love

By Kevin Bates

If love was just as simple as ABC then life would be a breeze. Yet, sometimes, we are like that three-year-old trying to learn the ABCs, stumbling over our speech looking lost and confused, just hoping someone can tell us how to get it right. This is a fun book of poems with the delight that a three-year-old has when getting it right. Jumping for joy as happy as can be, looking for some kind of reward, maybe just a hug will do.

So this is for those looking to relearn the alphabet in a fun way. If you fall, pick yourself up. This is someone giving a helping hand. Because learning is always growing, then this book is for you. Pick it up, have a good time, and maybe shed a tear or two.

Kevin Bates

Kevin was born in Beaumont, Texas. He moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and now resides in Katy, Texas. He was raised with strong Godly beliefs and family love. He walks in strong faith and is always thinking of doing something for family and friends. His mother brought him into the world of words by picking up a book and taking him, his sister, and his brother away by reading to them. He fell in love right away and always had to have a book in his hand. He reads daily to think, learn, and be inspired. He writes in hopes to do the same to you. So, in Kevin’s writings, he is sharing his love of God, family, lessons in life, and love in his heart. His hope is to make you think and to share with you the love he first learned from his grandmother and mother. Then, in the end, put a beautiful smile on your face.

Learning and Falling In Love

Affection

Such affection for the lady

with those shiny green eyes.

Thoughts of you and me

consistently fill my mind.

The perfect place for me

is next to you in your arms.

Astonishing Assault

Walk through the front door bewildered,

by the dim lights and soft music playing.

Then out of the shadows you come at me,

slowly so I gather your stunning beauty.

You’re in a blue Tory Burch Trixie dress

clinging to every soft curve of your body.

The gold Tory Burch silhouette sandal

you wear is accenting your amazing legs.

You lay your soothing luscious lips on me;

staggered by the sure power of love in them.

Share a lovely candle lit dinner for lovers,

your precious eyes sparkle like priceless gems.

It’s been an astonishing assault by you;

one of great love and acknowledgment.

I will always welcome onslaught like this

as I carry you off to your chamber of rest.

Adore

If you could see into my soul,

then you’ll understand my feelings,

how you consume all of me.

There’s an unexplained need for you.

To be held in your arms,

as you lay next to me.

I glorify the person that is you,

sing praise of your beauty and grace.

I Adore the lady that is you.

I’ve dreamed of the perfect lady,

thought it never to come true.

Opened my eyes, there you stood.

There’s no battle you cannot win,

handled with strength and dignity.

A solider for all causes.

I treasured your love you shared with me.

Much better than any gems or
