Show Notes
I dream of a happy ending.
Perfect and unyielding.
A quiet love,
so loud,
its deafening.
Where I would not ever have to question their affection.
I'd be so sure of this love,
anxiety would dissipate.
One filled with faultless words of promise, burning with hope.
A brilliant,
irreplaceable light,
matching mine.
An almost planned,
adventurous future,
that I could see in their eyes.
Eventually,
this ending will find me.

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only
Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
