Anomaly.

the explanation of my life.

a hapless wight.

brimmed with fright and awe.

unmoving, yet breathing

-

caffé on a wintry veranda.

crinkled pages. laughs. tears.

rehearsed and repeated.

unchanged, yet sensible.

-

and there you stood.

arresting stature.

-

a cult figure of fiction.

of my dreams. of my desires.

obvious outlier.

unconditional, yet mindful.

-

feted by your audience.

the gathering at Stonehenge.

the chase of Pamplona.

a traipse through Brocéliande.

unnerving, yet thrilling.

-

but there you are.

agreeable beauty.

-

ceased storms.

alienated lands.

I yearn to celebrate you.

at this very moment.

within my nature.

unanticipated, yet welcomed.

-

flashes of what could be.

warm dawns. long talks at eventide.

I witness a future of galvanic effect .

these sweet nothings vibrating peace.

unrivaled, yet distant.

-

but here we are.

unfamiliar, unembraced.

-

whimsical moments alone.

but I feel that we have met before.

that you were once my reality.

a rebirthed romance.

we are mary and percy.

precedented, yet unfulfilled.

-

in truth, I am altered.

no longer a specter of repetition.

I am prepared for my verse.

and I sing one word: Hello.
