PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Cleverly
Placed among the scenery
Watching... waiting
He admires her.

He'd seen her smile
She knew not that he held her
His arms caught her
When she wasn't aware.

So, he would then return
To the background
His sole purpose
To be her hero.

Only recently posted
He'd still much to learn
What were her secrets?
She was his.

Slowly peeling
Each day, anew
Would he be laid bare?
One day she would see him.

Unarmored, defenseless
Grievous and grey
Scarred and toughened
He, but a shadow on the wall.

She sees the wall
And the shift apparent
Moving closer
Studying the framework.

Realizing...
He was there the whole time
His desire to defend her
But first, the shackles broken.

Instantly, rising
Suddenly fortress
A strong gust
She flees to his shelter.

Protected, she grows
Safely home
With finality
Her relief.
