The Eighth Wonder

Folder: 
2022

Within truth and trust

love still unfurls within us

softens the greasy wind to distant puffs

and steel to aged, aching rust 

something combustible inside

eats an uncrustable imbibed

with common sense.

Then that Sixpence 

None The Richer song gets stuck in our heads

and we remember that day

that

 

...moment

we began to believe

in tomorrow

within each other

beating in rhythm to a heartened drummer

and you were the eighth wonder

of this world

and I hustled with youth

to press your lips to mine 

I discovered truth

with eyes clasped so tight

and a heart 

tuned, toned, a properly-weighted pendulum

magnetically adhered to you

Nice lines

  • "A heart tuned, toned" Often when I read a poet , I find a line or two leaps from the page. If more lines grab me I declare it a winner.  "Magnetic Adhering" is a winner! Vocabulary is sooooo nice. Write On!
