Runes

Inspiration like a shooting star

Hardly aware of how things are

Like when life is not so easy

No mama papa to fall back on

Only cheerleaders to tease me

And teenage times they just drag on

Writing long lone lines in rhyme

Floating on that rapid sea in time

Thinking it a fairy-tale or promise

A young girl’s body soft like dunes

Undulating past like love is

A play spelled in romantic runes
