Half Scribbled

Rolled another paper and threw it away

Words never lost him this way

Poems, stories, couples strewn around

Perfection was the only way he knew now


There she sat with the calm of the world centered elegantly

Shining across the room with lips parting smilingly

He could hear but not listen the words

They had failed him at that moment as well


He tried to dabble around conversation

The awe, the glory, the depth overwhelmed with temptation

Not for him he thought was this forbidden fruit

Only had to be handled this gushing feeling so brute


The memories so vivid, so real yet so fleeting

Like the raindrop hanging off the leaves, like the fireflies' dance at dawn ceasing

The distance has increased while longing strengthened

Yet the page remains crumbled, dry and half scribbled
