This is a repost of my first post back in Open #9.  (It's a bit modified, too.)

Just like the etchings on a glass
Or the rhythm of iambic pentameter,
I can't deny that I long to stay.
Like the cold winds
From the month of December
Well into March,
There's no casting aside
This imminently catching passion.
I know there are more pressing issues,
But, to tell you the truth,
I'm not that brave when you're far.
I couldn't begin to describe
The vulnerability that seems to overcome
When you're gone.
You can't take the obviousness
From the serenity of a sleeping child,
Or the triumph from a champion
Whose first victory has just been won.
It's one of those things
That require inspiration,
The capital letters of that coveted treasure.
All I could say certainly is
That the only way
I could fight the dark
Is with you beside me.

I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe until you're resting here with me...

Thanks, Mr. Magoo!  Yeah, the muse has taken a hiatus, so I figured it was time for some reruns!  Glad you liked it!

A classic re-run of your unmistakable style.  Wonderful to see it come around again and I am not sure of the modifications but I know I like what I see in this one a whole lot.  Nicely done my friend.

Unmistakable?  Well, thank you, my dear friend...that is the best compliment a poet can get from another.  I am glad you like it!
