As I pen another verse
of a story once imagined
some highly played out romance
a hero called and sought
...
Awaiting that spark
that lightning strike
to birth life into nothing
that single moment of inspiration
...
A thief, infiltrator
sneaking into my dreams
those few hours of freedom
the rest I rarely claim
...
Kiss me
And take the ultimate chance
Take that one in a million gamble
Embrace the unknown possibility
...
I would like, to take you by the hand
and dance to a song only we know
to hold your hand my own, so tightly
and stare deep into your eyes
...
The notebook sits open
Turned to the page of the latest poem
Hastily scribbled in shorthand
Asterisks and brackets make note
...
The light flickers on
Illuminates the empty hallway
...
Alone in the company of myself
How the walls seem ghostly quiet
...
A declaration of my love
~
It is to her laugh my heart smiles
Her playful nature my soul rejoices
...
