Waiting While She Shops Waiting while she shops I see her at the other end, coming along the store aisle, packages in both arms. She sways a little as she walks, breaks into a tiny smile, happy with what she’s found. I’ll help when she gets closer; but for now I’m happy just to wait, to see her as I see her always, coming down the aisle. |

Mmmm...very nice, especially the reference to the wedding aisle in the last line. That's what we, as heroes, do. We live as if the world were like it should be, to show the world what it could be. |

Lucky man. *wishes for her own love* That's what we, as heroes, do. We live as if the world were like it should be, to show the world what it could be. |

Really, I was rather surprised myself! I'm also tired. Bedtime for Amara, me thinks. That's what we, as heroes, do. We live as if the world were like it should be, to show the world what it could be. |

It was VERY interesting for me, and not just because I was hanging around the lingere department..... I got hot headed, pulled out a pen and paper, and wrote six (count 'em, six) poems while I stood there! Never did that before, ever! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
