The Message In a Bottle
Should you ever find a poem,
One I needed you to see--
Tucked safely in a bottle
Tossed about a wind-swept sea,
It's a message in a bottle,
Adrift a year--or even ten--
Though once it's been unsealed
You will understand it then.
I was not the man you thought I was;
Neither arrogant, nor small--
But one who sadly fell from love,
And could not endure the fall.
But I need for you to know this,
Should the bottle be retrieved--
That I once knew a love like yours
And in miracles, believed.
For once upon a moonlit night,
A fairytale came true--
And fixed my heart with gilded wings;
And to the stars I flew.
I was kidnapped by her beauty,
And held hostage by her grace--
Imprisoned by her bedroom eyes
And divinely fashioned face.
This was the poem of my life,
For I fell but rose above--
A gentle man who dreamed a dream,
And was helplessly in love.
