Stranger


You are a beautiful stranger You haunt my dreams Wandering around in them Causing unease Who are you What is your name Where did you come from Handsome stranger Your voice unspoken Your face unseen You are only a shadow; ashen... I only wish these For I have seen your face Heard your voice Felt your touch Of which I had no choice Your voice soothing, like a caress Your face an example of imperfect fairness You are two things partly: The outstanding gentleman at the champagne party And the mystery that skulks in the night You are the perfect mixture of dark and light Sometimes, hidden... By your coat and hat You disappear suddenly; Just like that! Who are you, beautiful stranger? Do you dwell In heaven or hell Or perhaps between the astral planes or realms? Tell me what they call you... My handsome stranger...

Aspiring poet among other things. I am currently halfway through an anthology. I absolutely love all aspects of writing and I am a playwright, poet, author and songwriter. I am proud to say that I am well-rounded as I am not only good with writing, but with many other skills. However, I am not from a well-off family, so I am trying to win a scholarship with my poetic talent.
