More of a Romantic than a Realist
by Joe CramerI am so much more of a romantic
Than a realist,
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
Rather than in my chest as it should be.
I worry, I ponder, I watch the time
I wait for you.
This consummation that I know little of
Brings my long day to a close,
Watching this sordid life pass me by.
The clocks on the wall tick
Their cacophony onward,
Appeasing my sensibilities.
My romantic soul,
A paradigm in its lack of virtue,
Away from the reality of it all
Questions my ulterior motives,
While I forever wait for you. 03/24/2001 Author's Note: While waiting for true love.....

That's what I tell myself, anyway...... aloha..;-0 |
