I Am In Love With A Poet

As if I were a raindrop,
I have fallen
For a man most peculiar.

Like the sun on an autumn day,
His smile consists of warmth.

Friendly and kind,
He is as playful as a kitten.

And although he is most cheerful,
He has another side.

When the clouds roll in,
He sits and weeps,
Tears of sorrow upon his face.

As the moon rises,
He is lonely in his house
Waiting for his true love to come.

In both these times,
He makes no sound.
He simply writes his self away.

With each word written on the blank paper,
He leaves a part of himself
To educate the children of a new day.

And little does this man know
That far away, there is a girl
Who just like him, writes herself away.

His words caress her soul,
His thoughts poses her head,
And his dreams capture her heart.

But until he comes for her
Or she comes for him,
They will always be apart.

So the poets both stay weeping,
As if pierced by a dart.

Well, this was an exceptionally enjoyable read, CG! I think many love-struck poets know this feeling you describe all too well. As artists, we generally really enjoy showing others our craft, but sometimes we just want to find that special somebody to DEDICATE our craft to. Sometimes, for that to happen, we have to set foot outside of our walls, don't we? Fantastic job, keep on writing! :)
