A contemplative poem about love by David Tombale: Pearls

Inspired by the Carl Sandburg poem Maybe.

Pearls


Maybe when the sun goes down
she’ll be waiting for my call,
maybe sunshine will be the last line
in a poem meant for two,
maybe her love line will be long enough
for my own to wrap around and hold,
maybe loving her will be my hobby and
my job and I will work forever to keep
those flowers in her hair,
maybe by touching her I might shed the
shadows round my eyes and I’ll be watching
her until the days go by and my promises
are like pearls she wears around her neck.
