A Package Sent To An Unknown Force

by Ares   Dec 19, 2008


I take one step closer to you and stare in to those beautiful,
emeralds you call,
your eyes and I mouth the words "Hear me out!".
I notice a slight glimmer in your eyes as you grow uncomfortable.

The world seems to shrink down upon us, enveloping us in to tiny surprises, sent across the universe to some unearthly force who'll open its mail box and find us intertwined in fear.

"I'm a failure!" I scream with my mouth shut and I close my eyes wide open to receive your much expected reaction. You lean in toward me, in that very off-white envelope, just as the force picks us up and neatly we are place on its marble mantelpiece.

We stand there, as two pieces of a trophy much deserved by the force, and you kiss me on the lips. Just I was beginning to doubt the outcome of this collision, which I've dreamt of and battled out in my weary, little head beforehand.

As the force takes one step back and admires its newly acquired trophy and journeys back to the moment we were claimed, I celebrate one of the things I love about you the most;

Your ability to take my scariest nightmare and turn in to a bright, gold and fresh spring morning with birds gently humming in tune and the sun carefully tickling our sleepy eyes as we wake up together in the bed we will eventually share for as long as we live.

    Wow, I feel like I've read this before and really liked it. Actually I'm sure I have and gave you the 5 because I didn't have time to comment ^_^
    Okay, one of the best paragraph poems I've read, at least for a long while. This is where we see you're a better poet than me, man these lines are good...the imagery...I'm not sure I'd be able to put that out! You must be a great prose writer!
    I was going to show you my favorite lines--but I can't choose. Great job stumping me! hehe.
