From 695 North She Came
Romances have a start and a place they end if you're lucky.
A word or two is all such a task,
Part one and part two, the mix I need if I'm to know you,
Not that you know yet, you have only to ask,
For I know not of what I won't do for you.
-
All of them in that room, they did not see,
Miss it they did, your glow,
None so rich has come near me,
None so full of life that I had to get to know.
-
Eyes of such blue,
I can not see past,
What can I do to know you,
Will this draw to you even last?
-
You, like a hook,
And I, like a fish,
A tale from a book,
How did I get my wish?
-
Walk by me, and do you not hear,
That beat from past my rib,
A soul to grab onto, do not fear,
Hold my hand, as two we may live.
-
To sway with you, to and fro,
In a trap in your eyes,
An oath that I will not ever go,
I'll be with you, even thru dark skies.
-
In the dark of hell,
It's you that kept the evil at bay,
With you, I'm ever well,
For it to last, for that I did pray.
-
A love that will last for all time,
We had it all,
Past blue eyes, some evil was in your mind,
Evil so dark, our doom was to see us fall,
-
From my spot to you,
Now, as it's many a year later,
A look from the eyes so blue,
Even with such hurt, I'd have to date her.
-
Just one more day to feel that way,
The warm of the sun on my face,
To have the life once held so dear for just one more day,
And the rest of it all, I'd find easy to face...

Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.

To still be in love after all that has been lost, every wound suffered. So poignant.
This was good! Your words perfectly describe how the person is feeling and you can understand his longing he wants to date her, even though he knows she is not a great person.
