I Wrote You A Letter

I wrote you a letter
It said don't settle
So mettle...or let

I'm in no position
Or condition
To pretend that this relent
Is insincere, unclear, impermanent

I liken this story to Jack and Jill
The hill made them fall to, not for
The safety net for thrill, each other
The risk to fall; the reward: one another

This dance?
Call it romance.
Call it chance.

Dizzying, the spin on four
Encapsulating, the kiss on three
Entrancing, eyes lock on two
Beginning, the dance on one
Caught staring, having fun
7 to 8 to 9, time flew
But slow enough to see
So much more is in store...to come.

This is not an essay
A combination of jumbled words
Misunderstood quips and phrases
Do not let your mind run away

Rather, a written show for one
An exclusive written performance
The non-fiction variety
Real, within the first glance

The faster we run together
The longer we jump, forever
Drag our hearts to the starting line
Carried in unbreakable cages this time.
