promises, promises
by Charlie Morganour vibes made us smile;
she owned her feelings,
a wide grin let them show.
as the fifty feet of air-space
closed to 2 feet, we both sighed.
knowing that soon we'd be one.
the day became ours; we frolicked.
we waltzed. we walked barefoot,
kicking loose soft, thin thistles.
then i closed my daydream's book,
she had not noticed i carried one;
she held tight a book of broken promises. 07/22/2008 Posted on 07/22/2008

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 07/24/08 at 04:28 AM This had me smiling, but that last line put a whole other spin on the daydreamin' and the two of you. Reminds me I have a book or two I could discard. |
