As You Spoke

As you spoke;

As I listened.

My thoughts beckoned:

-Are you the muse I've dreamt for so long?
-Your speech, a bird's song.
A smile, a musical scale for my eyes to dance upon!

To hear my heart asunder, would be to know that it cracks
as a wild stallion's THUNDER!

My timid soul frightened O'beauty so pure.
Always pondering; how much must it ENDURE!?

Perhaps someday I'll find the courage to ride its mane.
- And hope my heart might tame.

People cheer and jeer! So loud! Hoping for its end; a longing for that solitude. A yearn and crave for that sole dark place... just can't hear myself! ELPH© January 2, 2017
