Hope Chest

A hope chest standing empty

By the foot of the bed

Brings to mind

Times long ago

Loves of yesteryear

Forgotten

But not completely lost

We collect trinkets

To start a new life

But what if we never start over?

Never begin anew?

Is hope lost forever?

Or is it left sitting

In an empty chest

At the foot of the bed?

My Own Two Eyes

Sink into the warmth

Of pleasured company

Toss a log onto the fire

Wrap a cozy blanket around us

Take a drawn out sip

Out of your tumbler full of whiskey

Pull me closer to you

I need comforting

Will you be here when I wake?

Are you even here now?

Is this only a dream

Brought on by too much reading?

You do seem to resemble

My favorite hero

Tall mysterious shy

Too wonderful to notice

That everyone adores them

But maybe I am dreaming

Cause no way could someone love me

I would only believe it

When I see it

With my own two eyes
