Rescue

Written 3/1/2002

I can see you faintly

From across the mildew moat

A drawbridge stands:

The lone obstacle keeping you from me

 

The water seems a reflection

Of the green in your eyes

My prince charming, daring and bold

On his way to rescue me!

 

At last, my love, you arrive at the bridge

I wait with anticipatory trembles...

 

Time passes, slowly as you watch me

With a gaze of expectation

 

Bewildered; I wonder

You stand still in my contemplation

And then, realization

 

It was you who needed rescue all alone
