She Who Seeks

Just my thoughts as I wonder...

As I fall asleep under the midnight sun

a beautiful girl full of tears

touches my mind with her memories

and ventures forth to find me

before she even knows me

and the years that have passed since that day

would not allow in misaligned time

for our hearts to be entwined.

The moment is here, the time is now

this era will surely pass.

Will my heart remain a lump of coal?

Or will love be ours at last?

I think we dance in the in-between

No love but no rejection

I think we fear each other's response

And yet, upon reflection

I've been alone for far too long

my humanity I've questioned

I should make that gamble, take the chance

that my heart can again be softened.

I'm bitter now, but opportunity knocks

and now is that once in a lifetime.

Dear wind, beware as I throw my caution,

Beauty of tears, you may yet be mine.

Author's Note

Just let me know what you think.

Very well done. I think it strikes a really nice balance between caution and hope. I like that it's a love poem, but not too over the top. Very subtle, and love the "Dear wind, beware as I throw my caution" line. Nice job!
