A Sign Of Maturity

A mere hour and a half north of the fork
You can find a story worth learning
The same cast and characters we’ve heard before
As for the plot, at the end, the world keeps turning
He met her through tales of Caesar and kin
She knew him only through green and lowered head
She could offer the Mediterranean
Waters on which he knew he could never tread
His presence was to her pleasing
She taught him second chances with healthy gait
Life knocks him down seven times
She’s the hand to hold in search of eight
He loved to impress cause he just wasn’t impressive
Confidence not arrogance, she would always say
The flicker behind her eyes, eluding
Noting his head almost fit through the door today
He dreamt boyishly of a life lived alongside her
She contented herself on being a friend
He later found she knew him better than
His twenty years had told him ‘til then
We can hear a silence for want of breath
When a sign of maturity finds curv-ed staff
He wanted her affinity for optimism
She just wanted him to make her laugh
The past taught her to guard her trust
Stick it deep in her pocket given little air to breathe
He just loved when he asked her for her weekend plans
And she responded “You tell me”
His past taught him rejection over honesty
The trees he walked always seemed so weak of limb
Making it so hard to bottle the awareness that
She will always be the laurel wreath to him
He knows she’ll cross his mind
When he’s old, tired and lying in bed
For all he knew she could have been there
Lying next to him instead

| What is with all the one votes on poetry today? Many I have read that are wonderful pieces, such as yours, have been scored extremely low. I wish we weren't allow to score unless a comment was made. I loved your piece. Such a story woven in sweet poetic fashion. Well done, thank you for sharing. Peace, Laura |
