THE POET...

A  poet rescued me today,
It was not his charm, or generosity,
Rather, it was his wit, and mystery.


How he looked past me but caught my eye,
With his bare hand,
Touched the very bit I thought was far gone.

Thoughts lingered long after his gaze was no more.
I stand here,
Wishing, crying that with a single breath, he will remember the touch.
I brush my arm beside his, and the scent catches me,
Warming my heart, making my eyes wet with tears,
For I know my right is on my right.

But I was never one to follow the rules,
So I decide to run the yard,
After my rescuer, the poet with words that cut like a sword,
I will run after.

Happiness comes to those who want it,
And mine is no different a story.
Curse me if you may, but run I will.
Come with me, dear.
I know not where to lead you,
But I shall hold your hand.
His scent will be our guide,
His smile the never-ending light at the end of a bright day.

The grasp will never be loose,
For thoughts of his warm embrace will linger through many a day,
Every step farther brings us closer to the poet,
For the cause that stands before us is bigger than you or I.

Run with me dear,
To the happiness that is the poet.


Sometimes the right on your right, is wrong.
