Verbena Flowers – Day 217, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz

As soon as I looked into her eyes,
All I saw were Verbena flowers glowing underneath sunshine,
As time froze the second she said,
“Hi!”

Never have I met her before,
But,
Her soul felt familiar to me.
All I know,
Is how her eyes withhold a story I would like to read.
Yet,
I couldn’t seem to utter any word as I stood in front of beauty I’ve been blessed to see….

Nonetheless,
I said ‘Hi’ back,
Even if my mind went blank,
Asking God about what I’ve done to deserve the presence of a gifted woman who would write back,
After sending her a message later on that night as,
I felt something I never feel,
Nowadays…

I wonder what the title of her book is,
Hoping I gain permission to flip the page.
I mean,
I read more as I get older,
Anyway,
And,
All I can think about is getting to the end with,
A desire to be part of her entire sequel rather than being just a few sentences…

I digress in this,
Pickle I am now inside of.
It’s been so long since I’ve liked a woman ever since I’ve been freed from a siren,
That wouldn’t give my mind a rest no matter how hard I tried,
But,
Here I am.
Thinking of a smile framed by her purple hair while I write up,
A poem detailing every butterfly she’s giving me.
How appropriate it is with the way she has me feeling,
Free…

Then again,
How can that be true if everything comes at cost?
After all,
I bought into the spark we had between us the minute I gave it any thought!
Now I’m lost.
Without much sense to go along with the thought of her soft,
Hands being pressed against mine…
But,
Maybe…
If I work hard enough for a dream to come true,
Love wouldn’t be the lie it’s been.
What have I got to lose?…
