The CORNER

 

 

 

 

On a corner

Of a street

Where we meet.

 

Where I was 15

With swifter feet

and Burned your heart with rapid heat

 

On a corner

Of a street

Where we meet.

 

I saw your smile

It made me weak

My resolve to have and hold was sweet

 

Resistance, though futile

Reached a peak

and Faith remained no longer discreet

 

Together we spend our time to seek

The company of our hearts that beat

To a different drum

Like a runner’s shoe that has no cleat

 

On a corner

Of a street

Where we meet

 

Our trials and tests and heroic feats

That helped to shape our future treats

Were pieces and parts of an unknown seat

  We will surely occupy

 

On a corner

Of a street

Where we meet

 

A brilliant smile

Between your cheeks

A reciprocal reflection

That bears repeat

 

Imagining we are on a corner

Of a street

Where we meet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

K,

Always my Valentine.
