My Poetry: To Catch a Wish

To catch a wish.

---

It seems so long

since you caught that wish

as it blew past our noses;

did it ever come true?

or was it just another

old wives tale

to protect your dreams

from the storms

you harbour in your eyes.

 

I held your hand that day,

the day you blew that wish

back into the air,

do you remember?

I remember secretly

hoping you wished for me

to always be

stood by your side,

or else laying naked

cupping your flesh

for no reason else

but to prove

my wish come true.
