Listen up my master of patience
my sea of tranquility swimmer
my dream catcher in the rye
my wonderwall
I am not a butcher's daughter I am a falling star
A pirate who waited and waited
and still could not outwait you
Your mouth is as warm and luscious as a cup of French Roast
but my mother is a flower and my father a torch
and that makes for the most incredulous fire

Our entire story can be told in verbs
My devotion to you in a song:
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
I want to be a pillow for you to rest your weary head
I want my insides to be the place that you call home
Before my grandmother married Zeus she was a blind sculptor
who taught me how to speak in caresses
Remember the time
I traced the bones of your face with my thumbs
memorizing the angles
Even with my eyes closed
I will always know
how beautiful you are
I missed reading your poetry on MySpace and now it gets its very own blog. How neat! Great poem, Tiff. Where you write I'll follow.

Looking for patterns in your story, they may not be there...
(but in my obscure mind)
Happily, I found not, one, verb, akin to despair...
"Good Will Hunting"
"Will: I don't care if Helen of Troy walks in the room, (you are) that's Game 6!"
(the game to remember) good will, dear harvester...
always yours in all ways...
