Attic Poems

What words he must have spoken
to have left such a strong enchantment
on the girl the woman once was.

What love her heart must have sang
as the melody of his emotion rang out
and touched the woman she'd become.

A birthday wish, a lover's verse
all tied in ribbon, hidden
in a silken purse he must have given.

Let me bring these shades forward
to show them what happiness waits
outside of these pages.
