poem nine


a kiss
in the rain

the ingenue
consoling the
falling hero

the boy
philosophizing
with optimism

the girl
not believing

for she has been in love before
or so she's thought
and the crude world
has danced upon her dreams

the look
the one that bores
into the soul

emotion
exposed
effervescent
enchantment
endless
eyes

a classic sort of love
is what i need

with a boy
who loves classics

and me.

The part about the crude world dancing on her dreams reminds me of Langston Hughes Dream Keeper:

"Bring to me all of your dreams
you dreamers
bring me all of your heart's melodies
that I may wrap them in a blue-cloud cloth
away from the too rough fingers
of the world"

~Langston Hughes
