casting apologies

casting apologies

 

 

today's wishful thinking

becomes a tomorrowful thought

in yesterday's cadence

letting out poetic line

you run with my affections

 

a rhythm's lure, sounding the heart

like a small mouth bass 

to dive to the depths

before the gambol

towards a love's sky water

 

today's wishful thinking

baiting the clouds into striking

 

i'll set the hook,

if i ever get you to bite

on the softness of my shame.

This has a sadness stitched into the seam Jacob. As romance beckons in a smoke filled room of words you use your skill with the metaphor to fan the flames knowing fire can kill but the flame can also die!

thank you for your kind review, John.
