When you suddenly made your entrance
into my monotone life, like lightening,
I stood, transcended by each sentence,
as I versified you in my writing.

I recited your every syllable,
knew your stresses like the back of my hand.
You became the very symbol of
what I reached for with my pen.

You became my haunting adventure,
as I hunted for you with my rhymes.
In the fetters of letters, I held you
for each one of your wonderful crimes.

And now, rather hopeless, you gaze at me
from the snow-white plains of the page,
but I can’t let you soar away gracefully
from the warmth of my heart -- your cage.

Absolutely lovely. Enjoyed very much.

There are a million messages,
in a million bottles,
you just have to know
which one to pull out of the ocean.
