Brief and beautiful.
Words, cliché, made new.
Was it the way you said it?
The smile dreaming across your face?
Reality twists into a story
I wrote myself a thousand times,
settling for the fantasy, perfect
as it was. Fantasies are trinkets
you can hold in your palm. Safe.
Solid. Unchanging and heavenly.
Please let it not
be brief. Just beautiful.
I’m not offended by cliché –
It’s still new to me, and wonderful.
So please, keep on saying it.
Smile, and let me know the dream
rings true, in permanence.

My kind of poetry
This is a most touching and softly worded message. It says the things that many would wish to say, but do not know how to. This is one of the best written pieces I have read in a long time. Please write more.
