A Poem by Mae Arrowood

When I painted your lips on the canvas,
a shiver flew down my spine,
spreading to my roots and resounding in the ground.
Even as a replacement for your touch,
I could taste your cologne,  feel your voice.
It was as if you had surrounded me in an embrace, and our hands had broken the barriers, 
forming a bridge to each other.
I painted on your eyes, and their gaze melted me.
I dribbled down the steps, leaving a trail of longing behind me.
Then I looked up,
and it truly was you.
A stale greeting was offered, nothing more,
and as you turned to leave,
the wind from your shoulder took my breath away.
and I still can't breathe.

Now this...is Epic! It begins with the dance of the fairytale, and then the eyes open and reality waltz's in. Yet, through it all, the dream and the ground, the heart still beats for the person for whom the heart desires.
What really captured me with this piece is that it really slams home the idea that love can be a one way affair. And even if nothing materializes, it doesn't mean that the heart doesn't care of the one they wish for.

Masterfully crafted! Two Thumbs Up!
