Match-made

It used to be a tradition
involving trays of coffee and desserts,
a shy, obsequious girl on display
and the chinking weight of gold.

I hid somewhere among
exploding stars and raging seas
waiting to be found.
Now the planets are aligning
but my heart isn't.

Its a winged creature
with a mind of its own
spoilt by too many dreams,
and Prince Charming looks nothing
like this. Except for the stars.
They, apparently, approve.

love often feels like romance and madness and the more the romance consumes us the madder we become -
like two birds in a mating ritual the more the make elaborate steps to each other the more confuse they become i assume when they tire hey lay an egg
and get on with life

good work
