A Poem

I’ve been too afraid to post anything on Substack other than book reviews thus far. However, I’ve been inspired to write a poem now that I’ve finished what is now one of my favorite shows.

Here it is:

Starry-Eyed

Come, my dear.

Let us gaze into the twinkling expanse

stretched across this swirling sea

until we’re starry-eyed and silly,

pregnant with dreams of what could’ve been.

Soon, seas will separate us,

what we swore would never be done.

No matter.

All the swords and guns in England can’t cage you.

And someday

I’ll look at this same ocean

from the shores of a distant land and say

Come, my dear.
