I got this in my inbox this morning.....
It almost made me cry.
I promised, never a Love Poem
And I write
These words
To continue
Where all
Of the best
Songs ended
Is it hopeless
To be a Romantic,
When her skin
Makes you stutter?
Redemption is
Spelled out
In every line
That she traces
On my back,
With her fingers.
And consolation is
Marked by the way
That we cannot look
Into each others eyes
Without shaking
(And every word
That passes through
Your lips
Passes through my smile)
Now I remember
What it feels like
For my heart
To beat
And my blood
To be
Warm
And for once
My chest
Doesnt ache.
*********************************
Edited to say I got a good bye letter from someone I had dated brifely who is making a long distance move here pretty soon, and with it he included a few poems he had written for me. This one being my favorite.
Best of luck in everything that he does.
OH and the BREAKROOM tonight for a bit. I promised
Inara!

Hopeless isn't a word I know.
