Hopeless Romantic


I want to write

about love

in curling scripts

that tug character strings

and release

magic butterflies.


I want to dream

about love

hiding under

thick blankets

fantasizing

hoping 

for an encounter

unreal.


I want to reach

your love

through pristine letters

with fading ink 

smoothed

over

and over

again

through chaste kisses

blushing in

winter’s cold

because 

no novels

no lyrics

no words

can satisfy.
