Three Times the Charm


Couldn't sleep last night for fear
that dreams wouldn't last in the morning light.
Holding on, to guard these thoughts
Friction's blush resisting the movement forward.

Do I know what this means
in understandable language? Why these words
flow from fingertips that would rather touch
the warm of skin than the cool of keys?

I searched today and found my Aladdin's lamp,
there on a shelf hidden, placed it on the table
to wipe off the dust and to hope that while rubbing,
my wish of three would come true.

I wished for the same, three times may be the charm,
hoping that one may bewitch him into responding,
the temptation of choice alluring, as I
replaced it on the shelf, giving it one last feel
and went about dusting the rest of my life.
