if you simply glance outside you'll see. that figure on your rooftop, and yes that's me.

awaiting your presence, awaiting your eyes,awaiting the day you silence my cries.

waiting and wanting my turn to see,
the most beautiful thing in the world to me.

this thing is your smile, this thing is your face.
this thing has me blindly falling from grace.

just wish I was there but I’m suddenly not, it's as simple as this your all that I’ve got.

so here I wait with such words to say, but until our eyes meet they'll stay at bay.

so until the next time our hearts meet, just remember this heart is yours to keep.

this heart is special and it's case has a saying.
no I’m serious, just look I’m not playing.

on it's case it says fragile,
so please show it care.


Midnight...
The rooftops...
I'll meet you there...

Astounding poem. The first three stanzas do well with keeping to the limerick pattern of AABBA but then it starts to fall into just pretty rhymes, but then you snatched it back up again at the end, which I rather enjoyed. A+++
