The CORNER
On a corner
Of a street
Where we meet.
Where I was 15
With swifter feet
and Burned your heart with rapid heat
On a corner
Of a street
Where we meet.
I saw your smile
It made me weak
My resolve to have and hold was sweet
Resistance, though futile
Reached a peak
and Faith remained no longer discreet
Together we spend our time to seek
The company of our hearts that beat
To a different drum
Like a runner’s shoe that has no cleat
On a corner
Of a street
Where we meet
Our trials and tests and heroic feats
That helped to shape our future treats
Were pieces and parts of an unknown seat
We will surely occupy
On a corner
Of a street
Where we meet
A brilliant smile
Between your cheeks
A reciprocal reflection
That bears repeat
Imagining we are on a corner
Of a street
Where we meet.
K,
Always my Valentine.
