Like a candle I am waiting
for my muse, you will
find me in the window
pondering, a small flame
ulluminates the room.

I am always in deep thought,
wondering the forest of ideas
I grow within my mind.

Like Alice, I am lost at times
in a poetic wonderland
formatted by my reality.

I will use your tears
to water my mind,
and grow you a poem
Anytime that you cry

Our souls
Universally
For every together
I still remember
You saying
“That nothing lasts forever
Except for our love!”
And then you kiss me.
