Bardstown Musing


A Romantic is always afraid deep inside

expectations will never come true

 

Chasing a mirage that stays beyond reach

waiting and hoping in lieu…

 

A Romantic betroths those lies of the heart

in amorous moments to roam

 

Wooing a dream that’s jilted by sleep

to wander, to wonder—alone

 

(Dreamsleep: September, 2022)
