I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO WAIT 255 DAYS FOR THE NEXT NATIONAL POETRY MONTH

you are even better

by famous author rob byrnes

 

when i think about the way

                                                      you stroked my hair...

as moonbeams broke through window panes;

as moonbeams played across your face,

                                                                so soft

                                                                  so tender,

                                                        so sublime;

you smiled at me, your lips...

curled;

slowly;  parted gently, like the soft caress

                                              of gentle hands,

and gently lips,

and gentle sighs;                              

your gentle lies

were all forgiven on that night,

because i knew romance and

                            i knew reality;

and i knew balance,

and i knew life,

and i know you are good, and

i know you are rich...

                                                                       ...which makes you

 

...even better.
