Day Nineteen - #WoPoWriMo - The Heart Thief

Resigned to amazement,

every which way,

destined to watch

and stand stunned

by each

new day, and all the things you encounter,

new challenges faced ,

my smiling pirate

of unexplored seas –

you rock and you roll

and dip

and tease, as birds

in an ecstasy of flight,

causing my marvel,

each wondrous morning,

my glory,

each unexplained night.

I watch you flower,

in moonlight,

through a curtain’s crack,

and you stop your sea-battle just to ask,

how the storm clouds

ever came

to be formed; 

and you shock me always,

with the gems

in your eyes

in the sunlight of a summer dawn.

An angel, an imp, until the light is gone,

kind ghost

amongst evening stars,

my mischievous sprite whilst the fog

is rolling –

I will never

quite know what you are.
