Love Poem: Speak
Stephen Kilmer Avatar
Written by: Stephen Kilmer

Speak

There is a quest
A guess about time
A place to be

With me
If you would
Perhaps 
In a dale or in the wood

Upon the glade
Perchance you would speak
To me

For you see I am alone
At the end of the pier
Watching the sun
Setting upon the sea

Leashes pull
And dogs tug
Little girls running
Jumping
Enjoying the merry game

They call out to the gulls
Swooping and dipping
Squawking out our names
Yet, we do no speak

With your iPhone 
No one cares
Only you do
Speak to me

Speak
