Mr. Darcy

Free Verse

By Aspen Marie Published 8 months ago 1 min read

My romantic fantasies

Are very odd

In nearly every one

I am with the person I desire

Laying in the sun under a tree

While they read to me

Have you ever heard true romance

Spoken aloud?

I haven’t

But I have read it

In a hundred thousand pages

Don’t get me wrong

Not just words are happening

In these spicy imaginings

But it’s the setting

For every good thing that may occur

between two consenting adults

Perhaps it is because

I am in love with literature

And the person is

Just the platform

In any case

They go hand in hand

Quite nicely

    This is so delightful! Romance in ink hits deeper than most kisses and apparently, you’ve read enough to prove it! 💖
