My life’s been full of ups and downs
With twists and turns to make it through
I could have done it on my own
But frankly, it’s better with you
Along the way, I’ve learned and grown
With tips and tricks to keep it new
I could have made it by myself
But I know, I’m better with you
The way ahead is never straight
With fears and hopes to keep it true
I could have played it solitaire
But always, life’s better with you

Icarus: Favourite Love Poems
This creative collection, now in its 2nd edition, brings together love poems by Wayne Visser. The anthology traces love’s agony (“Broken Dreams”) and ecstasy (“Galaxies Cart-Wheeling”), from first blush (“Almost Strangers”) to full bloom (“Say ‘I Do!’”), as we fly to love. You’ve given me the gift of golden wings / The endless sphere of blue imaginings / The chance to rise above the silver clouds / The will to cast off untold ghostly shrouds / Don’t fly too high / Don’t rise too fast / Don’t tease the sky / Don’t taunt the past / You’ve given me the hope of warmer days / The blessed kiss of the sun’s fiery rays.
