A Known Unknown.

If ever there was such a night as tonight,

I wish it to be reflected in starlight,

It’s dark and breezy out this eve, my dear,

And the world’s all quiet, nothing to fear.

-

It’s odd to think of how often I lay

Upon my bed reflecting the day,

And once your name and face come to mind,

I get lost in daydreams for quite some time,

Sometimes when I hear you voice,

Something inside just shouts rejoice,

I’m not sure what this means,

But I like it.

-

Further still, as I come to know

You more, it’s hard to stay in tow,

I find myself smiling with every laugh,

Your voice as calming as a palace bath,

My eyes amazed by every photograph,

I hope each word is not the last,

I’m not sure what this means,

But I like it.

-

As I sit and wonder if I’m heading right,

I feel ok without much might,

Because I sort of believe in time,

An idea, more or less, will grow the vine,

I think of all the things so fine,

I would love to be able to see your mind.

I’m not sure what this means,

But I do like it.
