A Song of Promise

Every night tossing and

Turning. Into a new leaf.

Falling in love again,

Swathed by love songs.

Music diluting your face,

Forming blurry contours

Of my perfect lover.

A few tears of redemption

And a watery smile of resolution.

Grabbing every skein

Of long broken promises,

I’m knitting me anew

An old love story.

Tonight I wait for dawn to break.

Tomorrow will be a better day.
