The Writer

Creative juices flowing
writing “up a storm”
come, sit beside me
and keep me safe and warm

Another tale of love so true,
another dash of woe,
a question of the heroine,
will she stay or go?

It's my choice, my pen in hand
to let him live or die
it's my “ever after”
as the hours tick slowly by

I can “paint” a sunset
or write a stormy sea
all these things I can imagine…
even “you here with me”
