PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I awoke in my lover's arms today

a book of favored poems lay lovingly

across my chest

I felt revived, truly new all at once

in my very own home

and so utterly drowned in my utter

giddiness

to no other of this fact could I have

shown

these familiar pages

how they caressed me

giving sustenance where famine before

only dwell

I felt arrogant

almost uniquely courageous

in my own private peace

the little words in my mind began to swell

and so I wrote to

of and for

my new found lover

what else

but a promissory poem

of course............
